Canada Ready to Resume Trade Talks After US Cancels Negotiations

U.S. President Donald Trump has terminated trade talks with Canada, citing a controversial anti-tariff advertisement paid for by the Ontario government. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed readiness to resume negotiations when the U.S. is prepared, acknowledging that Canada's government cannot control U.S. trade policy, which has shifted significantly over the decades. Carney highlighted the progress made before the talks were abruptly ended and emphasized Canada's willingness to continue discussions and address domestic issues within its control. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized Carney for what he described as a failure to negotiate a deal with Trump, blaming him for the ensuing trade chaos. Despite the breakdown, Carney conveyed a diplomatic stance, underscoring Canada's openness to dialogue and cooperation in future trade matters.
