With a U.S.-imposed deadline for a new trade deal fast approaching, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial premiers are united in refusing to accept a rushed or unfavorable agreement with President Trump.
The threat of steep U.S. tariffs has dominated recent high-level meetings, but Carney insists that substance matters more than speed, and Canada will only sign a deal that benefits the country. Provincial leaders are divided on how aggressively to retaliate, with some calling for matching tariffs and others urging caution. The uncertainty has fueled calls to diversify trade partners, particularly with China, and to strengthen internal Canadian cooperation.
As the August 1 deadline nears, Canada is preparing to hold out for the best possible outcome, even if it means missing the deadline.
