Bessent on trade war with Canada: Carney ‘chose to walk away’ from a deal

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney, asserting that the Canadian leader chose to walk away from a trade deal. Bessent claimed Carney is prioritizing the interests of the Liberal Party over the well-being of the Canadian people. This development occurs as tensions between the U.S. and Canada have continued to ratchet up over trade since the summer, fueling concerns regarding the timing and impact of an escalating trade war between the two nations.
