The growing sense about Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington, D.C., is that maybe he doesn’t actually want trade peace, Tracy Moran, National Post correspondent in the U.S. capital, tells Brian Lilley. The prime minister’s “waiting game” tactic is out of runway: talks have dried up and there’s not enough time now to head off the July 1 deadline when U.S. President Donald Trump gets to revise, or worse, declare an end to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. Troublingly, Carney has managed to aggravate the Trump camp with continuous provocations, and the American public is souring on Canada. Meanwhile, she says, the White House is preparing tariffs that, this time, could be far more punishing than previous ones — with no more carve outs for CUSMA goods. (Recorded May 14, 2026.)
