Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney drew international attention earlier this year by warning that middle powers such as Canada must resist economic coercion.

U.S. Vice-President JD Vance weighed in on the latest trade deal with Canada at a fundraising event Wednesday, saying Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to "out-tough" U.S. President Donald Trump while crediting his longtime friend Conservative MP Jamil Jivani as a helpful advocate for Canada.

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened 50 per cent tariffs on US$20 billion worth of Canadian goods, including cement and hockey sticks. Those levies will come into force just after midnight on Aug.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Union next month in a push to deepen ties with the bloc as his trade dispute with the U.S. escalates. Carney is set to speak at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Sept.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said last-minute negotiations with the U.S. to avoid a fresh batch of tariffs due to take effect this week are "delicate" and "intense," and he plans to speak to his American counterpart in the next 48 hours to broker a mutually agreeable deal.
