Canadian premier says ‘erratic’ Trump ‘not to be trusted’ amid US trade feud
The premier of a Canadian province launched a blistering attack on US President Donald Trump on Thursday, calling him a “bad person” and “not to be trusted” and urging Canada to keep fighting rather than rush to make concessions in trade talks with Washington. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Canada has leverage in the talks even as his province weighs restoring US alcohol sales at Prime Minister…
Manitoba's Premier Wab Kinew harshly criticized US President Donald Trump, branding him a "bad person" and asserting that Canada should not trust him. Kinew urged his province to persist in trade talks with the United States, rather than hastily accepting concessions. The province is considering reinstating the sale of US alcohol, a move Prime Minister Mark Carney endorsed as a way to secure an agreement that would avoid potential 50% US tariffs.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew emphasized that Canada holds leverage in the negotiations, given the erratic and irresponsible nature of President Trump. He urged Canadians to support "Team Canada" in securing a favorable deal, despite Trump's assertions that the agreement would be fair. Other Canadian provincial leaders, including those of Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, have voiced support for Carney's negotiation approach.
Quebec Premier Christine Frechette endorsed the ongoing talks but cautioned against prematurely endorsing the agreement while economic impacts are assessed.
