Canada's Carney says US needs to start being serious before trade talks can resume
Carney said talks can resume only if Washington drops the taunts and accepts a deal that protects Canadian industries and sovereignty.
- On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney blasted the Trump administration for "doing memes" and "throwing shade" against Canada, demanding the United States "start being serious" before trade negotiations can resume.
- Canada suspended trade negotiations on August 21 after citing "unacceptable" last-minute U.S. demands, while President Donald Trump mocked Canada's military and renamed Lake Ontario "Lake America" in social media posts.
- Carney stated the U.S. approach would treat Canadian core industries as "subsidiaries" or see them "gradually wound down in Canada and wiped out," emphasizing Ottawa had never found the proposed terms adequate, especially for the auto sector.
- U.S. officials disputed the Canadian account, claiming a "good deal" was available on the negotiating table, though Carney maintained a "positive opportunity" remains for a mutually beneficial agreement.
- Any future deal must respect Canadian sovereignty and Canada's right to protect Quebec's culture and the French language, Carney said, maintaining an agreement remains possible if the United States shifts its approach.
