Carney says talks with U.S. in ‘intense phase’ of Canada being ignored by Trump ahead of Aug. 1 deadline

Prime Minister Mark Carney said negotiations between Canada and the U.S. on a new trade and security deal have reached an “intense phase,” as an Aug. 1 deadline looms.

Carney made the comments in Prince Edward Island on Monday during a separate announcement about the Confederation Bridge.

“The negotiations are at an intense phase,” Carney said. “It’s a complex negotiation you see with the various trade deals that have been agreed by other jurisdictions … there are many aspects to these negotiations.”
