In light of escalating tensions surrounding trade and US tariffs, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's government distanced itself from Ontario's aggressive advertising strategy that drew a backlash from President Trump. Following Trump's announcement of a 10% tariff increase on Canadian goods, Carney emphasized that negotiations with the US are solely the responsibility of the federal government. While some provincial leaders praised Ontario's direct approach, others, like Alberta's Premier, called for consistent diplomacy to resolve tariff issues. Carney is set to meet Trump at the ASEAN summit in Malaysia to discuss trade relations.
