Carney hopes trade war with US will make Canada stronger and more resilient

On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will wait for the right conditions to resolve its trade war with the United States rather than rush into a deal with Washington.
Trade talks collapsed last month before Washington imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods, prompting retaliation from Ottawa.
Ottawa will seek private investment through long-term concessions to operate Canada's four largest airports while retaining public ownership, potentially raising tens of billions for infrastructure.
Despite high political tensions, Carney noted that about 80% of trade with the United States remains tariff-free, signaling economic leverage to withstand the dispute.
Carney recounted that President Donald Trump told him "maybe they'll shoot you" regarding United States access, illustrating the volatile environment Canadian officials navigate during negotiations.
