Carney faces ticking clock on Canadian support for tough tactics with Trump
Carney’s government will provide C$7.5 billion in support as pollsters say 76% of Canadians back his stance toward Washington.
- On Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended Canada's trade negotiations with the United States, announcing $20 billion in counter-tariffs and a C$7.5 billion support package on Tuesday.
- President Donald Trump's administration introduced last-minute changes to the tentative trade deal, adjusting auto tariffs and curtailing language requirements, prompting Carney to declare, "We are masters in our own house."
- While 76% of Canadians approve of the government's stance, economists warn the dispute could eventually cost 90,000 jobs, and Canada's central bank says a U.S. withdrawal from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement risks recession.
- Analysts warn that Carney's leverage may diminish as the trade war impacts income and employment, particularly as 40% of Canadians worry their jobs are at risk.
- Seeking to diversify trade partnerships, Carney is strengthening ties with the European Union, emphasizing that Canada and the EU must unite to avoid submitting to a "brutal" international order.
