By Zoila Palma: Today, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada is prepared to sign a trade agreement with the United States, provided it delivers benefits to both countries and offers stability and credibility for workers, families and businesses.
Speaking in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Carney said Canada is ready to return to negotiations when Washington is prepared to do so.
Carney rejected claims by US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that Canada abandoned trade talks because of domestic political considerations.
He also said the US position appears to have softened on several issues since negotiations broke down last month, including concerns over Canadian language and culture.
The latest developments come as tensions remain between the two countries over trade.
Shortly after Carney’s remarks, US President Donald Trump criticized the Canadian prime minister in a Truth Social post, accusing Carney of portraying him as an enemy and warning that such an approach could have severe consequences for Canada’s economy.
