Canada is locked in tense trade negotiations with the United States as President Donald Trump threatens to impose a 35% tariff on Canadian goods starting August 1. Prime Minister Mark Carney insists he will only sign a deal that is in the best interest of Canadians, even if it means missing the looming deadline.
The talks have been described as complex, with Canadian premiers divided over how aggressively to retaliate against U.S. measures. Many Canadians and political leaders are calling for a tougher stance, while the White House labels Canada a 'difficult' partner.
The outcome of these negotiations could have major consequences for the Canadian economy and the future of North American trade.
