Carney links Trump’s latest tariff threat to negotiations on CUSMA trade pact
Carney says Trump's tariff threats aim to gain leverage in the upcoming United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement review, with over 85% of Canada-US trade remaining tariff free, officials said.
- On Jan. 26, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney said U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariffs threat against Canada comes just ahead of negotiations to renew CUSMA.
- In a weekend social-media post, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if Ottawa reaches a trade deal with China and withdrew the prime minister's Board of Peace invitation.
- Framing the remarks as negotiation posture, Prime Minister Mark Carney described President Donald Trump as a strong negotiator and said Canada’s Beijing deal on electric vehicles and agricultural products aligns with the United States and Mexico pact.
- The tariff threat may give the United States leverage in CUSMA renewal talks, intensifying ongoing tensions over electric vehicles and agricultural products among Canada and Mexico.
- Carney said he will not respond to every social-media post by President Donald Trump, and the exchange unfolded as he arrived in Ottawa on Jan. 25, with the report published Jan. 26, 2026.
