Canada not in a 'position right now' to agree to U.S. trade deal, Carney says

Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that Canada is holding firm on its stance in ongoing trade negotiations, suggesting that any agreement will only be made if it aligns with the interests of Canadians. As the U.S. midterm elections approach, this statement underscores Canada's determination to prioritize its economic and national interests over immediate pressure from the U.S. This approach highlights the importance of protecting Canadian industries and workers amidst the intensifying trade discussions, signaling a robust and cautious negotiation strategy.
