More intense U.S. trade negotiations have started, Carney says
ST JOHN'S — Prime Minister Mark Carney says "more intense" trade negotiations with the United States have already begun, following his call with President Donald Trump last weekend.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that "more intense" trade negotiations with the United States have commenced, following a call with President Donald Trump. Speaking to reporters in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, Carney mentioned that some of Canada's "red lines," such as language, culture, and the negotiation of trade deals, have been removed from the table.
In August, Carney had suspended formal trade talks with the U.S. in a last-minute effort to finalize a deal before new U.S. tariffs were imposed on Canadian goods worth approximately $28 billion. The prime minister revealed that progress has been made on restricting Canada's ability to negotiate trade agreements with other nations.
However, he did not disclose any further details. Carney noted that the U.S. is requesting less from Canada and providing more in return.
