PM Carney says Canada not ‘taking notes’ from Americans as it prepares for trade talks
Carney said Canada will defend supply management and cultural rules as U.S. negotiators press for concessions before CUSMA review talks.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected U.S. preconditions for CUSMA talks, declaring Canada will not pay an "entry fee" and calling U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, and autos violations of the trade deal.
- The U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, plus 25% on automobiles, which Carney characterized as "more than irritants." These measures triggered provincial bans on American alcohol, complicating trade renewal talks.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer warned of possible trade "enforcement action" if American alcohol does not return to shelves, while demanding "changes" to Canadian trade practices including supply-management access.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the government Thursday, arguing Carney has "squandered all of our leverage" and urging focus on securing jobs for 2.6 million Canadians rather than debating alcohol sales.
- With the CUSMA review deadline set for July 1, Carney indicated Canada is prepared to wait rather than rush negotiations, echoing former trade negotiator Steve Verheul's assessment that "time is on our side.
