  "account": "Canada is refusing to apologize to the United States amidst ongoing trade tensions, according to Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc. Trump suggested Canada would apologize while speaking to reporters on Monday. Despite multiple rounds of U.S. tariffs and Canada's counter-tariff measures, LeBlanc believes Canada will not apologize for defending its economy. The U.S. has imposed an import ban on Canadian alcohol, dairy products, and motorcycles, escalating the trade war. LeBlanc stated that Canada's actions are in response to Trump's violation of a free-trade agreement signed six years ago. Canada and the U.S. are still in contact but not actively negotiating, focusing instead on what they can control.",
