Canada's prime minister and provincial premiers have presented a united front amid escalating U.S. tariffs, with trade negotiations facing a critical August 1 deadline. However, details of the ongoing discussions remain limited. In response to the trade tensions with the United States, the premiers have urged the federal government to strengthen Canada's relationship with China. This call for improved ties with China comes as part of a broader strategy to navigate the challenges posed by the U.S.-imposed tariffs. The premiers also expressed mutual praise for Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney and each other as they concluded their meetings in Ontario.
