Vance says Carney tried to ‘out-tough’ Trump in latest trade negotiations
Vance weighed in on the latest trade deal with Canada Wednesday, saying Carney "comes in and puffs his chest out and says, 'I'm going to, like, out-tough Donald Trump.'"
U.S. Vice-President JD Vance discussed the latest trade deal with Canada at a fundraising event, claiming that Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to "out-tough" President Donald Trump. Vance praised Carney as a "very sweet guy" and noted that he has a good relationship with Trump. However, the vice-president criticized Carney for conceding on several issues, stating that the negotiations resulted in "a lot of climbdowns on a lot of issues".
During the event, Vance also mentioned that Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, who has a long-standing relationship with Vance, was a crucial advocate for Canada during the talks. Jivani, who has previously visited Washington on behalf of Canada, reportedly played a significant role in securing "win-win" areas, such as energy and automobile tariffs.
The latest deal with the United States delays new tariffs on Canadian products for three days and involves the return of American alcohol to liquor stores. The agreement remains unclear in other aspects.
