With a U.S.-imposed deadline fast approaching, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to accept a trade deal with the United States at any cost.
Carney has emphasized that Canada will only sign an agreement that benefits the country, even as President Trump threatens steep tariffs. The premiers are divided on how aggressively to retaliate, but most agree that substance is more important than speed in negotiations. Internal discussions also include contingency plans, such as potential retaliatory tariffs and shifting trade focus to other countries.
The ongoing talks highlight the complexity and high stakes of Canada-U.S. trade relations.
