Canadian provincial leader says Trump is a ‘bad person’ as Canada weighs concessions for trade deal

Canadian provincial leader says Trump is a ‘bad person’ as Canada weighs concessions for trade deal

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew has harshly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, labeling him a "bad person" and "not to be trusted." Kinew urged Canada to continue pushing for concessions in trade talks with the U.S. rather than hastily making compromises. Manitoba is considering reinstating U.S. alcohol sales at the request of Prime Minister Mark Carney, aiming to secure a deal that would avoid a threat of 50% U.S. tariffs.

Kinew believes Canada holds leverage in the negotiations and that Trump is weak and out of touch with the cost of living in America. He expressed confidence in Canada's ability to secure a favorable deal and emphasized that Canadians should continue supporting Canadian products, even if U.S. products return to provincial liquor stores.
