TORONTO — Canada’s Conservatives are ratcheting up attacks on Prime Minister Mark Carney for moving too slowly to secure a trade deal with President Donald Trump, opening a new political fight in a dispute with consequences on both sides of the border.
This is becoming a wedge issue in Ottawa because the closer the deadline for a review of the North American trade agreement gets, the easier it is for Conservatives to argue Carney is failing to shield Canada from a U.S. trade offensive he has repeatedly promised to stop.
