‘We’ll only accept the right deal’: PM Carney cools hopes for US pact before July 21 deadline

Prime Minister Mark Carney lowered expectations of securing a US-Canada economic and security pact by July 21. Speaking in Brussels after signing a defence deal with the EU, he said Canada will only accept the ‘right deal’ with the US. Carney hinted at possible new tariffs if talks fail. Despite intensive discussions, no agreement was reached during the recent G7 summit, though both leaders pledged to continue negotiations over the next 30 days.
