PM Carney Says He Has No Plans to Apply Further Trade Pressure as U.S. Midterms Approach
Carney said Canada remains ready to negotiate in good faith as U.S. import bans hit about $967 million in goods, analysts said.
- On Tuesday, new U.S. import bans took effect, barring Canadian alcohol and motorcycles as Prime Minister Mark Carney said he has no plans to apply further trade pressure on the U.S. ahead of American midterm elections.
- The trade war escalated in August when Carney suspended negotiations, prompting both nations to impose $28 billion in retaliatory tariffs. President Donald Trump subsequently issued orders removing Canadian goods from procurement lists and renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.
- Trade adviser Peter Navarro warned Canada against interfering in U.S. midterms at the American Growth Summit, telling Canadians to "get the hell out of our country." Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc dismissed President Trump's claim that Canada would soon apologize.
- Jacob Jensen of the American Action Forum calculates the ban covers US$967 million in Canadian imports based on 2025 numbers, while BRP Inc. confirmed its Can-Am Spyder and Canyon motorcycles are excluded from U.S. imports.
- LeBlanc stated detailed trade talks are currently paused, though officials remain in contact. Carney emphasized Canada remains ready to negotiate in good faith, provided any deal protects the country's sovereignty.
