Canada is in a trade war, Mark Carney says. Last-second U.S. demands would have restricted Canadian deals with other nations, PM explains

Canada and the United States have entered a trade war after Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade negotiations with President Trump following last-second U.S. demands. According to Carney, the breakdown occurred because the proposed U.S. terms would have restricted Canada's ability to form trade deals with other nations.
The sudden collapse in talks plunges the longtime allies and economic partners into uncharted territory, abruptly ending decades of free trade without a clear off-ramp. Carney described the new trade conflict as something that "was not our choice" but acknowledged that it "certainly isn't good news" for the country, marking a crucial test for his leadership as Canada navigates the escalating dispute.
