Carney says trade talks in ‘intense phase’ after Trump scores win with European Union
- On July 28 in Prince County, P.E.I., Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that discussions with the U.S. regarding trade are currently at a critical and complex stage as the deadline on Friday approaches.
- These talks follow President Donald Trump's comments last week that Canada was not a priority and that tariffs might replace negotiations.
- The dispute involves U.S. tariffs of 25% on many Canadian exports, 50% on steel and aluminum, and ongoing threats to raise tariffs to 35% on non-compliant goods by August 1.
- Carney stressed that any agreement must benefit Canada, while British Columbia Premier David Eby pointed to potential solutions in the lumber dispute that could provide stability and mutual gains for producers on both sides of the border.
- The outcome remains uncertain, but Canadian officials continue negotiations with U.S. counterparts aiming to reach a fair agreement and avoid escalating tariffs.
