Carney Dismisses Trump's Tariff Threats as Bluster Amid US-Canada Trade Talks

• Canadian PM Mark Carney views Trump's tariff threats as pre-negotiation posturing for the USMCA review.
• Trump threatened 100% tariffs on Canadian goods if Canada pursued a trade deal with Beijing, which Carney denies interest in.
• Canada recently cut tariffs on Chinese EVs in exchange for lower tariffs on Canadian canola oil, meal, pork, and seafood from China.
• The new deal allows tens of thousands of affordable Chinese EVs into Canada with an initial cap of 49,000 vehicles.
• Trump's tariff threat and Greenland acquisition push have strained US-Canada relations and the NATO alliance.

Why It Matters: Carney sees Trump's tariff threats as negotiation tactics, while Canada navigates complex trade relations.
