Canada aims to emerge from its trade conflict with the United States as a stronger and more self-reliant economy, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Tuesday, indicating Ottawa is prepared to hold out for favorable terms rather than rush into a trade pact with Washington.
"And to our American friends, let me say this. We will always be neighbors," Carney told an audience of global investors at the Canada Investment Summit in Toronto, emphasizing that sustainable relations require "true partners that respect each other’s traditions and sovereignty."
