Mark Carney hardens tone: 'When Americans stop making memes', we can negotiate

SOL1 September 2026 at 17:49

The Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has hardened his stance against the United States and refused to resume trade negotiations while Washington maintains a provocative posture. Carney referred to the current situation saying "when Americans stop making memes", suggesting that negotiations can only move forward when there is a change in tone from the US.

The Canadian leader demands respect for Canada's sovereignty in the context of trade relations between the two countries. Carney has adopted a firm position against what he considers provocations by the American administration.

One of Carney's main priorities is to reduce Canada's economic dependence on the United States. This strategy comes at a time of trade tension between the two countries, with Canada seeking to diversify its trade relations.

The Canadian Prime Minister's posture reflects a significant shift in Canada's approach to the US, abandoning a more conciliatory position to adopt a more assertive tone and protect Canadian national interests.
