Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says negotiations between Canada and the United States over trade have become “nasty” after President Donald Trump criticized Canada and its leadership while warning about potential changes to tariffs. Carney made the remarks as the two countries continue talks related to U.S. trade policy affecting Canada, according to multiple outlets.
Carney characterized the negotiations as difficult, describing them as a “tough negotiation” and emphasizing that the talks involve Canadian jobs. The comments come amid Trump’s public criticism of Canada and its leaders, along with his threats to expand or increase tariffs, which have raised concerns about the direction and pace of the negotiations.
Across the reports, the central points are Carney’s description of the tone of the talks, the link to Trump’s remarks about Canada and its leadership, and the ongoing tariff-related pressure that frames the negotiations.
