US EditionPM Carney says Canada not ‘taking notes’ from Americans as it prepares for trade talks
Carney said Canada will not take instructions from Washington as U.S. officials press for concessions on alcohol, dairy and digital rules.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected U.S. preconditions for CUSMA talks, declaring Canada will not pay an "entry fee" and calling steep U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos violations of the existing trade pact.
- The U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum and 25% on automobiles, which Carney called "more than irritants"; these measures triggered Canadian provincial bans on American alcohol, escalating tensions ahead of the July 1 CUSMA review.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer warned Wednesday of possible trade "enforcement action" if American alcohol does not return to liquor shelves, while Canada maintains supply-management and cultural protections remain off the negotiating table.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the approach on Thursday, arguing Carney has "squandered all of our leverage" and urging focus on securing jobs for 2.6 million Canadians through a tariff-free trade deal.
- With the CUSMA review deadline set for July 1, Carney indicated Canada is prepared to wait out negotiations rather than rush concessions, echoing former trade negotiator Steve Verheul's earlier assessment that "time is on our side.
