Canada Stands Firm Against Trump's Trade War Demands
The editorial board of The Toronto Star believes that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made the right decision in walking away from a new trade deal with the United States. Although the details of what was on the table are unclear, it is known that Canada cannot assume Americans will make better choices in future elections or count on things returning to the way they were before.
The US had been demanding three concessions from Canada: something, something, and something else. Carney's decision effectively returned fire in a trade war with the largest economy in the world.
While the exact terms of the rejected deal are unknown, The Toronto Star editorial board supports Carney's move, citing that he made the right call by not giving in to US demands.
