Carney Defends Canada's Trade Stand | Calgary News

Prime Minister Mark Carney fired back at U.S. officials who blamed Canada’s trade walkout on political distractions, calling them out for lacking expertise in Canadian politics. He accused the U.S. of imposing last-minute, unacceptable conditions — including blocking auto tariff reductions and pushing back on language protections for Canadian culture and sovereignty — which made a deal impossible. Carney noted the U.S. position had shifted since talks ended, revealing an “our way or the highway” stance that now contradicts their current statements. Still, he affirmed Canada remains open to negotiating a fair, worker-friendly deal — ready to resume talks when the U.S. is prepared.
