Prime Minister Mark Carney faces challenges in negotiating a new trade/tariff deal with the U.S. primarily due to President Donald Trump's firm stance on maintaining tariffs as a core policy. Carney has acknowledged that there is little evidence of Trump agreeing to tariff-free deals with any country, as seen in recent agreements with the UK, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which all include baseline tariffs. Trump's threat to impose a XX% tariff on Canadian goods starting August 1, 2025, adds pressure, with exemptions only for CUSMA-compliant goods. Additionally, Trump's unpredictable negotiation style and focus on protectionist measures, such as targeting Canadian steel, aluminum, autos, and other sectors, complicate talks. Carney's shift from promising tariff-free trade to accepting some tariffs reflects this reality, while domestic criticism and calls for a harder stance further constrain his negotiating position.
