VANCE SAYS CANADA FRIENDLIER TO CHINA ON TRADE THAN TO US: 'INSANITY' President Donald Trump meets with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office at the White House on May 6, 2025, in Washington, D.C. (Anna Moneymaker/ ) It comes as tensions escalate between the U.S. and its northern ally.
Carney said U.S.- Canada trade talks could resume if Washington became serious about negotiations, but he also accused the United States of pursuing terms that he said could leave Canadian industries “gradually wound down in Canada and wiped out.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said Canada could not go “tit for tat” with a U.S. economy 13 times larger, while U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth mocked female Canadian cadets online. Carney said Washington also sought limits on Canada’s future trade deals.
Carney said the U.S. approach in the talks would have left Canadian industries effectively as subsidiaries of American companies or imposed terms under which they would be “gradually wound down in Canada and wiped out. “Quebecers have the most to lose in an apocalyptic scenario where the U.S. absorbs Canada, and the status of the French language disappears,” he said.
We will strike free trade deals with the countries we wish to strike free trade deals,” he said. Just one Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted against it.
