Canada PM Carney: US sought to limit French, cultural rights

TREE NEWS update: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the United States insisted until the final moment on restricting Canada’s rights to protect and promote French and its own culture. He added that Washington also sought to interfere in Canada’s future trade agreements with other countries. Carney said the US demanded too much and offered too little, leading Canada to reject an unfair deal rather than accept submission over genuine economic partnership.
