Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Donald Trump must stop making “disrespectful” remarks about Canada before serious bilateral talks can begin.

Trump has threatened tariffs on Canadian imports and joked about making Canada the 51st U.S. state. Carney, sworn in last Friday, has yet to speak with Trump but insists Canada is ready for broader negotiations on trade and security.

Canada has imposed retaliatory tariffs but acknowledges limits due to its smaller economy.

Carney’s comments mark his strongest stance on Trump since taking office.

    I’m gonna need to hear a good ol Canadian “Sorry” from a US president before I ever knowingly buy anything from that country again. And that’s all it would take too.
