Canada's Trade Stand: A Shot Across the Bow Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, has fired back at Howard Lutnick, the US Commerce Secretary, over stalled trade talks between the two nations.
The dispute reflects deeper dynamics in the Canada US relationship, marked by a lack of trust and respect.
Lutnick claimed Ottawa "blew up" a nearly complete trade deal for political reasons, while Carney retorted that appointed US cabinet members should not comment on Canadian politics.
