Carney Says US Trade Talks Are ‘Nasty’

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says trade negotiations with the United States had turned “nasty” after President Donald Trump derided America’s neighbor and its leadership while threatening to expand tariffs. Carney said Canada remained engaged in the negotiations despite Trump’s comments, describing the talks as a fight to protect Canadian workers and businesses. Trump criticized Canada during a speech Wednesday in Las Vegas. Carney laughed when asked about Trump’s description. He said Canadian negotiators were in Washington this week and that he expected further conversations with Trump after speaking with him last week.
