Canadian Premier Minister Doug Ford met with Mark Carney to discuss U.S. trade and tariffs amid ongoing efforts to negotiate a new trade agreement with the United States. Ford expressed uncertainty about the prospects of a tariff-free deal, citing U.S. President Donald Trump’s unpredictable behavior. A recent poll indicates that approximately 80% of Canadians doubt Trump will honor any trade deal. Meanwhile, Conservative politician Pierre Poilievre criticized the Liberal government for its handling of trade relations with the U.S. Ford also publicly condemned Stelco’s U.S. owner for supporting U.S. tariffs, signaling tensions within cross-border business interests.
