Carney says Canada won't settle for a 'bad deal' on US tariffs

In a statement, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asserted that Canada will not settle for a "bad deal" regarding the ongoing trade dispute with the United States. Trudeau's remarks come ahead of the August 1st deadline set by President Donald Trump for resolving the tariff issue. The Canadian leader emphasized that his government is still engaged in negotiations to find a resolution to the trade conflict. Trudeau's stance suggests that Canada is unwilling to compromise on its interests, even as it continues to work towards a mutually acceptable agreement. The trade dispute between the two North American neighbors has been a source of tension, with the U.S. imposing tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum exports. Canada has responded with retaliatory tariffs, leading to a trade impasse that both sides are seeking to resolve through negotiations. Trudeau's remarks indicate that Canada is willing to stand firm in defense of its economic interests, rather than accepting a deal that it deems unfavorable. The outcome of the ongoing negotiations will have significant implications for the future of Canada-U.S. trade relations.
