Trade War Rhetoric: Premiers vs. Trump
Description
Today's episode of Scott Fox After 9 brings you the latest from the Council of the Federation as Canada's premiers respond to President Donald Trump's new threat to impose 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. Hear the key moments from Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, B.C. Premier David Eby, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, and others, as negotiations over Canada-U.S. trade enter another critical phase. The premiers appear to be divided over how Canada should respond.
Scott also offers his analysis of the political rhetoric coming out of the premiers' meeting. While many leaders are taking increasingly aggressive public positions, Scott argues that inflammatory comments may score political points at home but do little to advance negotiations with the United States.
