Carney said Canada is keeping its negotiating strategy as officials meet U.S. counterparts amid a threatened 50% tariff on Canadian goods.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney insisted trade negotiations with Washington remain "constructive" as an Aug. 19 deadline for new U.S. tariffs draws near, characterizing Canada's tone as "quite firm."
- President Donald Trump has threatened to impose new 50 per cent tariffs on a wide range of Canadian imports beginning Aug. 19, even on products complying with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement.
