With a U.S.-imposed August 1 deadline and the threat of steep tariffs, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to rush into a trade deal with the United States.
Carney insists that Canada will only sign an agreement that benefits the country, despite mounting pressure from President Trump. The premiers, meeting in Ontario, are divided on how aggressively to retaliate but agree that substance matters more than speed. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pushing for strong countermeasures, while others urge caution.
The uncertainty around the talks has heightened tensions, with leaders emphasizing Canadian sovereignty and the need to protect domestic interests.
