Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed the country's commitment to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) while continuing to seek a deal with the United States amid rising trade tensions. Following the imposition of a 35% U.S. tariff on Canadian goods, Carney indicated he would engage in talks with U.S. President Donald Trump "when it makes sense." Carney is also exploring additional tariff cuts aimed at boosting industry efficiency in Canada. In Ottawa, Carney convened virtual meetings with his cabinet, provincial, and territorial premiers to discuss the latest U.S. tariffs and the broader trade situation. Provincial leaders displayed divisions on the issue, although Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed confidence in Carney's leadership and described Canada’s tariff plan as "solid," without providing specifics. Ford cautioned that Trump could reopen the USMCA trade pact as early as the fall of 2025, urging Canadians to "fasten your seatbelt" for potential renegotiations. Carney downplayed talk of retaliatory tariffs, emphasizing instead Canada's focus on reducing economic dependence on the U.S. He also indicated openness to removing existing Canadian tariffs to help domestic industries navigate the trade challenges.
