Trump isn't going to give an inch at this point. He is going to continue to demand equal access in banking, telecom, dairy and other industries. Our PM already went across the world with a couple of promises and deals but the U.S knows we are in deep trouble thanks to Ontario and the Creepy Ones who violate citizens rights.
I wouldn't even be surprised if the wall becomes 10 feet higher now for Canada in order to get a deal as Trump is almost certainly going to walk away from USMCA and deal separately with Mexico and Canada.
Doug Ford owns this Canadian collapse. He loves to bully the weak and vulnerable here with his favourite outfits but he learned quickly that Trump isn't a little dog in the pound.
Prime Minister Mark Carney dodged questions about the last time he spoke to his U.S. counterpart Sunday, saying 'who cares?' when pressed by reporters.
Still, a spokesperson for Carney said Monday he is considering a trip to Washington next week to attend the draw for the FIFA World Cup, which Canada, the U.S. and Mexico are jointly hosting in 2026.
That draw, set to take place at the Kennedy Centre, the performing arts centre U.S. President Donald Trump now personally controls, will determine the group-stage matches for that major soccer tournament.
Canada-U.S. trade talks broke down abruptly last month after Trump lashed out at Canada for Ontario Premier Doug Ford's anti-tariff ad campaign that invoked Ronald Reagan.
Speaking to the press in Johannesburg at the end of a visit to the Middle East and Africa to bolster trade ties and meet with G20 leaders, Carney said he's been preoccupied in recent weeks with crafting a federal budget and securing investment in Canada.
Carney and his government have sought to distance themselves from Trump after his ad-induced tirade against Canada, pursuing closer ties with oil-rich Gulf countries and a trade agreement with India.
"We've had discussions. I've been busy," Carney said when asked about connecting with Trump. "He's got other things to do and we'll re-engage when it's appropriate."
Asked again to detail when he last spoke to Trump, Carney said: "Who cares? I mean, it's a detail. I spoke to him. I'll speak to him again when it matters."
