Trade negotiations: Poilievre urges Carney not to concede to the U.S.
As crucial negotiations take place in Washington, Pierre Poilievre urges Mark Carney to stand firm against the Trump administration.
This week, Canadian trade negotiators resume talks in Washington with the Trump administration. According to La Presse, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has urged Prime Minister Mark Carney not to make any further concessions to reach a duty-free agreement.
Poilievre emphasized that the Canadian government has already acquiesced to many of Trump’s demands over the past year, according to reports from Radio-Canada. His call for firmness comes as Canada seeks to finalize a trade agreement.
Le Devoir reports that the government's critics are also focused on the cancellation of the digital services tax, an issue that raises concerns among conservatives.
