Canada’s Carney Ready to Sit Down With US on Trade Deal

Carney's emphasis on Washington understanding Canada's red lines reframes the relationship as one of defined limits rather than open-ended concession, which matters for sectors on both sides of the border that have been pricing in prolonged friction. The absence of a timeline is the tell: willingness to talk is not the same as a negotiating track, and consensus language leaves room for the status quo to persist. Whether this moves from posture to process is the open question.
