Trump: If Carney can get a deal with China, he ‘should do that’
Trump supports Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's trade deal with China, highlighting the exchange of tariff cuts on electric vehicles and agricultural products.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters as he left the White House that `If you can get a deal with China, you should do that`.
- Carney said diversifying Canadian trade was critical amid massive U.S. tariffs rattling Canadian industries and described the partnership with China as reflecting the world as it is today.
- U.S. officials sent mixed messages Friday, with the administration warning Canada may regret the decision and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer telling CNBC `I think it's problematic for Canada`.
- In Beijing, Canada and China agreed to slash tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China cutting duties on agricultural products including canola, marking a major break from the United States.
- That split in messaging could deepen policy rifts as Trump urges Chinese automakers to build in the U.S., contrasting with U.S. trade officials including Jamieson Greer who criticize Canada’s deal with China.
