Carney says U.S. wants to wipe out Canadian industries or make them subsidiaries
Prime Minister Mark Carney said U.S. negotiators in trade talks wanted to make key Canadian industries, especially in the automotive sector, subsidiaries of American companies or have them wiped out.
Carney made these remarks after the Liberals won three byelections, commenting that parts of the deal before talks broke down were mutually beneficial.
He criticized the U.S. for demanding too many concessions that would hurt Canada's auto sector and sovereignty by limiting trade access.
Canada plans to impose counter-tariffs on nearly $28 billion of U.S. goods starting September 8.
