‘No intention’: Carney rules out free trade pact with China after Trump threatens tariffs

Canada’s prime minister Mark Carney denies plans for a free trade deal with China. This comes after US President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on Canadian goods. Carney affirmed Canada’s commitment to the CUSMA agreement, which restricts such deals with non-market economies without prior notice. Carney said recent engagements with China focused on resolving existing tariff disputes, not broader trade pacts.
