Vance Weighs in on Jivani Trade Advocacy and How Carney Tried to ‘Out-Tough’ Trump

Vance said Canada is trying to win concessions as U.S. and Canadian negotiators race to finalize a tariff delay and sectoral cuts.

  • Minister Dominic LeBlanc returned to Washington on Thursday for trade talks with United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, aiming to finalize a Canada-U.S. agreement before a Saturday 12:01 a.m. deadline.
  • President Donald Trump announced late Tuesday a three-day delay on new tariffs slamming Canadian products following a phone call with Prime Minister Mark Carney, providing temporary reprieve after weeks of intensified negotiations.
  • Vice-President Vance told fundraiser donors that Carney "comes in and puffs his chest out and says, 'I'm going to, like, out-tough Donald Trump'," while describing the Canadian leader as a "very sweet guy."
  • Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has been an effective advocate in trade discussions, Vance said, while dismissing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre as a "non-entity" uninvolved in current negotiations.
  • Trump claimed the agreement would drop tariffs on American farmers to zero and said his administration has a "very nice relationship with leadership right now," signaling confidence despite pressure to change Canadian behavior.
