Carney calls trade talks nasty

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to Donald Trump’s use of the word "nasty" by applying it to the trade negotiations between the two countries. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, he said the talks are difficult and linked the dispute to Canadian jobs and the future of businesses.

His remarks came as proposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods were nearing their scheduled start date. Carney’s comments reflected the ongoing strain in the trade relationship, with negotiations still focused on protecting Canadian economic interests.
