Rome, 21 July (LaPresse) – “Recognising that the United States has transformed all its trade relations, including those covered by USMCA, over the past 18 months, Canada has put forward a series of detailed and comprehensive proposals to resolve this dispute and to modernise USMCA. We are ready to step up those discussions in the coming weeks.” This was stated by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, regarding the additional 50 per cent tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on a wide range of goods imported from Canada in response to what he described as “unequal treatment” of American products. Emphasising that Canada believes in the benefits of “free and fair trade”, Carney said: “Canada believes in the benefits of free and fair trade, as demonstrated by our new government signing more than 20 new economic and security partnerships. This trade dispute has increased costs for households, particularly in the United States. Canada is ready to engage intensively to address outstanding issues with the United States for the mutual benefit of our citizens.”
