Canada Ready to Resume US Trade Talks After Trump Ends Negotiations
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his country is ready to restart Canada US trade talks “when the Americans are ready.”
He made the statement after US President Donald Trump abruptly ended all negotiations with Canada.
Trump’s decision came in response to an advert critical of his tariffs on Canadian goods. The ad, sponsored by the province of Ontario, quoted former US President Ronald Reagan. Reagan once said that tariffs “hurt every American.”
Trump reacted angrily on social media. He called the advert “FAKE” and “egregious.” As a result, he declared that trade talks were “HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Tensions Rise Over Tariff Dispute

The dispute highlights the growing tension between the two countries. Both have faced challenges since tariffs were introduced on steel and other key products.
However, Carney’s calm response signals Canada’s willingness to move forward. He emphasized that cooperation remains important for both economies.
In addition, experts say ending talks could hurt businesses on both sides of the border. Many Canadian and American companies rely on shared supply chains.
Therefore, trade stability is essential for jobs, investment, and consumer prices.
Carney’s message was clear: Canada wants constructive dialogue. “We’re prepared to return to the table,” he said. “Trade should unite, not divide.”
For now, the future of Canada US trade talks remains uncertain. However, both sides have reasons to find common ground soon.
