Canada Stands Firm in Pursuit of Favorable U.S. Trade Agreement

Canada is signaling a resolute stance in ongoing trade negotiations with the United States, as former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney emphasized the country’s readiness to hold out for the best possible deal.

Observers say this approach reflects a broader shift toward assertiveness in Canada’s international economic policy.
