Carney says he and Trump have agreed to ‘intensify’ trade negotiations

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he and US President Donald Trump have agreed to “intensify” trade negotiations, according to a report from Al Jazeera Latest.

The development comes at a tense moment in relations between Canada and its biggest trading partner, which have been strained by Trump’s repeated insults, threats and tariff actions. The feed summary did not provide additional details about the terms under discussion, the timing of the talks or any specific concessions being considered.

Carney’s remarks suggest the two sides are still engaged in an active effort to address trade issues, even as political and economic friction continues to shape the bilateral relationship. For Canada, the stakes are significant: the US remains its most important export market, and any change in tariff policy or trade access can ripple through a wide range of industries.

Trump has repeatedly used tariffs as leverage in disputes with trading partners, and Canada has been among the countries caught in the broader pressure campaign. The reported agreement to intensify negotiations indicates that, despite the strained rhetoric, both governments are still looking for a path forward.
