Carney says Canada having 'intensive discussions' with U.S. following latest tariff punch | CBC News
Briefly

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced ongoing discussions with the United States to contest the recent substantial increase in tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The U.S. President, Donald Trump, defended these tariffs, claiming they are necessary for national security. Carney highlighted the negative impact of these tariffs on Canadian industries, reiterating that while discussions are underway, this tariff hike is unjustified. The Canadian government aims to support its affected workers and industries amidst these challenges, asserting the detrimental effects on both Canadian and American industries.
“We will take some time - not much - some time because we are in intensive discussions right now with the Americans on the trading relationship,” Carney said.
“They are bad for American workers, bad for American industry and, of course, for Canadian industry as well,” countered Carney.
