Story summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated on November 14, 2026, in Manila, that ongoing trade talks with the United States are progressing but that Canada will not sign a deal unless it ensures the viability of the Canadian auto sector. Carney had a "long, substantive conversation" with U.S. President Donald Trump and other senior officials, emphasizing that Ottawa is not prepared to accept terms that could weaken the automotive industry, which has been under pressure from U.S. tariffs. Talks had previously broken down in August when Canada suspended negotiations over Washington's last-minute demands and subsequently imposed tariffs on around $20 billion worth of Canadian goods. Canada responded with retaliatory duties in September.
