Carney says Canada will only sign a U.S. trade deal that includes viable auto sector
Carney said Ottawa will not accept a deal that weakens auto manufacturing as trade talks continue and last-minute U.S. demands complicate negotiations.
- On Saturday in Manila, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada will not accept a trade deal with the United States inconsistent with a viable Canadian auto sector.
- Canada pulled out of trade negotiations three months ago following last-minute demands from Washington; the domestic auto industry exports nearly 90 per cent of its production to the United States.
- Carney held a "long, substantive conversation" this week with President Donald Trump, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller discussing sector viability.
- On Friday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said Ottawa and Ontario put an "aggressive package" before Stellantis, remaining "in solution mode to prevent the sale" of the idled Brampton, Ont. factory to Roshel Inc.
- Carney advocates for a one-on-one deal, arguing that long-term U.S. auto competitiveness depends on deep integration with the Canadian sector.
