There is no need for urgency in Canada’s efforts to persuade the U.S. to refrain from imposing its latest planned tariffs on Canadian goods that are to take effect on Aug. 19.
No trade deal is better than a bad one that Canada would be stuck with for many years, long after U.S. President Donald Trump has left office.
A tariff regime is difficult to unwind once it is enacted. Former U.S. president Joe Biden left in place many of the tariffs that Trump imposed in his first presidential term.
Appease? Is that what Carney has been doing?
