Carney: U.S. Tariff Reprieve Unlikely Before CUSMA Review

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that discussions on U.S. tariffs affecting Canada will now align with the upcoming review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) in 2026, following a failed negotiation with President Trump. Despite being close to an agreement on tariffs for steel, aluminum, and energy, Carney indicated that time constraints hinder further sectoral negotiations. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer highlighted market access issues and Canadian digital policies as points of contention, while Ontario Premier Doug Ford emphasized his commitment to resisting U.S. pressures until a favorable deal is achieved.
