Canada Ready to Revive Trade Talks with U.S.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed readiness to resume trade negotiations with the United States, while noting that Canada cannot influence U.S. trade policies. President Donald Trump declared the cessation of talks after an ad with Ronald Reagan's rhetoric on tariffs circulated in Ontario.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney voiced the nation's willingness to recommence trade discussions with the United States, emphasizing, however, that Canada has no control over U.S. trade policies. Carney's remarks come on the heels of U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that talks were off.

The President's declaration followed the circulation of a political advertisement in Ontario, which featured Republican icon Ronald Reagan warning against the dangers of tariffs, stating they cause trade wars and economic fallout.

Carney underscored Canada's readiness to engage with the U.S. when it decides to proceed with negotiations, aiming to secure a beneficial trade agreement for both nations.
