Carney: US-Canada trade talks can restart once Washington stops public insults

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said there remains a mutually beneficial Canada–U.S. trade deal, but negotiations cannot resume while U.S. officials publicly disparage Canada; he called such rhetoric beneath the office. Talks collapsed after tariff disputes and contentious auto-industry terms, with Canada preparing retaliatory duties. Carney emphasized that the U.S. auto sector benefits from Canada and Mexico and warned that a serious, respectful approach could bring talks back to the table.
