Carney calls US trade talks ‘nasty’

TORONTO (AP): Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the trade negotiations with the United States had turned “nasty” after President Donald Trump derided America’s neighbour and its leadership while threatening to expand tariffs. Carney said Canada remained engaged in the negotiations, despite Trump’s comments, describing the talks as a fight to protect Canadian workers and businesses. “This is a tough negotiation,” Carney said in French. “You can say ‘nasty’. But this is a question of Canadian jobs. It’s a question of the future of Canadian businesses.”
