Carney Says Trade Negotiations Will Intensify After Tariffs

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he and U.S. President Donald Trump have agreed to intensify trade negotiations between Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Carney’s comments come a day after Trump announces the U.S. will impose 50% tariffs on most Canadian goods, citing unfair treatment of American products. The tariffs are set to take effect in 30 days. Carney plans to meet with Canadian premiers to discuss the situation. British Columbia Premier David Eby criticized Trump’s approach, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Canada to stand firm. The new tariffs exclude energy products but include many other goods, affecting around 5% of Canada’s exports.
