Carney has a ‘weak hand’ in Trump negotiations: Shuv Majumdar
The Conservative MP says the prime minister has failed to use Canada’s strengths to build leverage with Washington
As the deadline for new U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports looms next week, the opposition Conservative Party is urging Prime Minister to take action in trade negotiations. Shadow Minister for Canada-U.S. Relations, Shuv Majumdar, spoke about the current state of talks and the letter Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sent to Federal Reserve Chair Mark Carney.
Majumdar argues that the Liberal government has left Canada in a vulnerable position heading into the talks and that Carney has not effectively used Canada's strengths to gain leverage with the United States. Instead, the Conservatives claim the government has made excessive concessions without gaining any reciprocal benefits from the Trump administration.
