WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Mark Carney states Canada’s nereceivediations with the United States are in an “intense phase” after President Donald Trump announced a trade agreement with the European Union.
Carney states that while there are similarities between the Canada–U.S. nereceivediations and those involving Europe, there are also a lot of differences.
Carney states he will only accept a deal that’s good for Canada.
The prime minister’s comments come after Trump last week notified reporters that Canada wasn’t a priority for his administration ahead of his Aug. 1 deadline to create trade deals.
The EU framework announced Sunday gave Trump a much-necessaryed win as he sees to realign global trade — and it indicates that no nations are likely to obtain a reprieve from his tariffs.
It sets a 15 per cent tariff on most goods, including European automobiles, but doesn’t appear to shield the European Union from looming sectoral tariffs on things like pharmaceuticals.
