Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. trade negotiators presented a stance in talks that would either force key Canadian industries to become U.S. subsidiaries or “wipe out” the sectors. Carney made the comments during a media scrum as he heads into his office, according to multiple outlets.
Carney’s remarks point to the perceived position taken by Donald Trump’s administration in negotiations. One account specifically references core Canadian industries, including the automotive sector, as areas he says were targeted by the U.S. approach. Other coverage echoes the same core claim, focusing on the “subsidiaries or wiped out” framing.
Across the reports, the emphasis is consistent on Carney’s characterization of the U.S. negotiating posture. However, the outlets provided do not include additional details in the excerpts—such as the specific proposals, negotiating documents, or outcomes—so the disagreement, if any, is not evident from the available text. The coverage primarily relays Carney’s statement and the industries he cited, rather than independently substantiating the underlying negotiation positions.
