Carney hopes trade war with US will make Canada stronger and more resilient
Ottawa will seek private investment for the four largest airports as Carney says Canada can wait for a better U.S. deal.
- On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told global investors in Toronto that Canada intends to emerge from the trade war with the United States as a more resilient, self-reliant economy, prioritizing long-term independence over rushing into a deal.
- Trade negotiations between the two nations collapsed last month, leading Washington to impose 50% tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods, which prompted retaliatory measures from Ottawa.
- To bolster domestic competitiveness, Carney unveiled a "productivity mega deduction" tax break allowing businesses to write off more than 65% of investment, while announcing plans to seek private investment for operating Canada's four largest airports.
- President Donald Trump's blunt "maybe they'll shoot you" remark regarding White House access highlights the diplomatic friction Carney faces, who emphasized that "nostalgia is not a strategy" for navigating volatile transactional relationships.
- Despite current tensions, Carney noted about 80% of trade with the U.S. remains tariff-free; he departs for Europe later today to address the European Parliament, seeking to strengthen economic ties with like-minded partners.
