Carney suspends US trade talks, says US 'signature written in pencil'

Canada has suspended trade negotiations with the United States, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on August 22, following failed talks.

Carney accused Washington of wielding economic integration "as a weapon" against allies, adding that the US "would put tariffs on its closest partners."

In a pointed remark, he said: "Sometimes its signature was written in pencil."

Ottawa has questioned the reliability of US commitments. Carney said the decades-long process of deepening economic integration between Canada and the US was "over," marking a sharp shift in bilateral relations.
