      >Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has „no intention“ of pursuing a free trade agreement with China, as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to impose crippling tariffs if Canada „makes a deal with China.“

      >“What we’ve done with China is to rectify some issues that have developed in the last couple of years,“ Carney told reporters Sunday morning in Ottawa, referring to trade items like Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs), agriculture and fish products.

      >Carney said Canada „respects our commitments“ to the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, which requires any of the three countries to [notify the others ahead of time](https://www.international.gc.ca/trade-commerce/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/agr-acc/cusma-aceum/text-texte/32.aspx?lang=eng) if they want to pursue a free trade agreement with a non-market country — like China.

      Read what he said. It’s not a free trade agreement. It’s an agreement on specific items

      This headline is going to give some Redditors whiplash from their predictions.

      He’s giving Trump his bait on the world stage. Trump will say, look I stopped the “free trade deal”. Let Donny boy take his win so he stops whining. He’ll take the bait and stop these Tarrifs. Massive win for Canada.

      But Trump needs to take the bait or Carney will look stupid.

      That doesn’t mean Canada wouldn’t pursue a free trade deal with PRC in the future. This one isn’t it, which is technically correct, the best kind of correct. Doesn’t mean if Canada will go for free trade deal with PRC either.

      The common sense replies like this make me proud to have this guy running our country. I hope he keeps it up.

      Just ignore DT folk. Don’t even react to what he says : reacting to him is what’s fueling him.

      I think it’s time to say that we have no explanations to provide to Trump. Never justify yourself for expressing your Sovereignty

      „But, if we keep getting threatened by our neighbours to the south, we might need to for our survival.‘

      This is the kind of headline that is misleading enough (whether purposefully or not) for those who just read headlines to come to the wrong conclusions. Adding a couple of quotation marks around „free trade“ would clarified things a bit right from the get go.

      Isn’t that just logical?

      We’re willing to negotiate trade deals that have limited scope where we think there is equal benefit for both countries, but aren’t willing to throw the gates wide open.

      This allows us to access their market without ignoring the environmental, security and human rights concerns that can arise.

      And we also have the CPTPP framework that China wants to access. If they want freer trade, then the PRC can meet the requirements to be a CPTPP country and join the agreement.

      Can we just kick the US out from global trade?

      I think they have overstepped enough at this point

      The details of this trade agreement have been available from the PMO website for several days. It’s been interesting watching the media machine try to turn this into a mountain when it’s really a mole hill

      Free trade was never on the table. I trust Carney but I wish he let Trump simmer a little before putting out this statement.

      “I’ll put 100% tarriffs if you do a free trade deal with China”

      “We were never planning on doing a free trade deal with China.”

      “That’s 12 wars prevented now! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! -DJT”
