Ottawa, July 21 /Xinhua/ — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on Monday that the US administration’s announced intention to impose a new 50 percent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods is “another in a series of unilateral US trade actions that directly violate the free trade agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico /CUSMA/”.
In his statement, M. Carney noted that the United States “has been transforming all its trade relations over the past 18 months, including those governed by CUSMA,” and that Canada has put forward a number of detailed and comprehensive proposals to resolve the dispute and modernize the agreement.
“We are ready to step up these discussions in the coming weeks,” said M. Carney.
The Prime Minister emphasized that Canada believes in the benefits of free and fair trade and that the trade dispute has led to increased expenses for families, especially in the United States.
He expressed Canada’s readiness for intensive interaction aimed at resolving “unsettled issues with the United States on a mutually beneficial basis for our citizens.” –0–
