Canada Stands Firm Against Trump's Tariff Demands

Canada has taken a stand against US President Donald Trump's economic bullying. Prime Minister Mark Carney refused to back down on tariff demands, which is costing Canada but earning him support from his people.

Carney is one of the few leaders who have stood up to Trump's tactics. The Canadian government walked out of negotiations last week, declaring no deal was better than a bad one. This move has sparked anger and admiration in Canada, with three-quarters of Canadians backing Carney's stance.

The trade war could cost 90,000 jobs and shave half a percentage point off economic growth. However, Carney is trying to make the Canadian economy more resilient. He has set an ambitious agenda to attract C$500b of new private-sector investment over five years.
