Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called US President Donald Trump’s pause on global tariffs a “welcome reprieve” and said Ottawa will begin negotiations with Washington on a new economic deal after elections.
After days of turmoil in global markets, the mercurial US president abruptly announced Wednesday a pause for 90 days on tariffs on most countries except China.
Carney took to social media platform X and called it a “welcome reprieve for the global economy”.
He added that Canada and the United States will “commence negotiations on a new economic and security relationship immediately following the Federal election” on April 28.
