Carney tells Trump ‘stop doing memes’ after taunts over US-Canada trade dispute hit new low
Developing
"When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade and stop trying to be tough, and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions," Carney said. Carney said trade talks could restart if President Donald Trump and his team get serious but he warned U.S. terms could leave Canadian industries "gradually wound down in Canada and wiped out.
We will strike free trade deals with the countries we wish to strike free trade deals," Carney said. Trump has since moved to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America" and taunted Canada online, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Ottawa could not go "tit for tat" against an economy 13 times larger.
"We’re not going to — of course, we’re not going to accept those terms," Carney said.
