Carney calls trade talks with US 'nasty'

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described trade negotiations with the United States as 'nasty' in response to President Donald Trump's criticism of Canada during a speech in Las Vegas. Trump called Canada 'nasty' and accused it of poor leadership, while Carney emphasized the importance of protecting Canadian jobs and businesses. The tensions stem from ongoing disputes, including Trump's threat of a 50% tariff on Canadian goods unless an agreement is reached by August 19. Relations have been strained since Carney took office in March 2025, with issues like wildfire smoke and trade policies contributing to the conflict. Recent phone conversations between the leaders indicated a willingness to continue negotiations, though the situation remains highly contentious.
