Prime Minister Mark Carney: Why I Rejected Trump’s Trade Deal “So last evening, I instructed our negotiators to return to Ottawa. We cannot accept what they’ve offered, and we will not give what they’ve asked. Over the past year, the US has imposed a series of tariffs that violate its commitment under our agreement with them in Mexico, so-called CUSMA. The United States has continually changed the rationale for these actions, from fentanyl to taxes on US tech giants, to certification of US aircraft, to the sharing of tolls of a bridge that Canada built and paid for, to our dairy policy, to provincial decisions not to sell American alcohol during the trade war, to a television advertisement that quoted Ronald Reagan, to smoke from wildfires while they threatened our communities.” https://thewalrus.ca/mark-carney-why-i-rejected-trumps-trade-deal/ #Canada #CUSMA #USA #Trump #Tariffs #TradeWar #ElbowsUp #CanadiansUnited

Replying to @virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca
@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca @dyckron@cosocial.ca The Trumpistanis want to enact 50-percent tariffs on a random assortment of Canadian imports on 19 August partly because they think it’ll give them leverage in #CUSMA negotiations, partly because Trump’s nose is out of joint thanks to Carney getting more adulation than he did at the #BlameFIFA World Cup awards presentation, and partly because it’s a day that ends in “Y”.
