U.S.-Canada Trade Reset

Mark Carney used a New York speech to pitch a new U.S.-Canada partnership before the July USMCA review and Trump's renewal decision.

1. Frame 1Mark Carney proposes a U.S.-Canada trade reset in New York as July's USMCA review puts the continental trade deal back on Trump's desk.
2. Frame 2His pitch links cooperation to sectors facing global competition: energy, autos, aluminum, steel, and critical minerals.
3. Frame 3Canada is also signing deals elsewhere because Carney says weaponized integration leaves countries less sovereign.
4. Frame 4He says Canada supplies 99% of U.S. natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, and 60% of crude oil imports.
5. Frame 5The July USMCA review becomes the test: renew the pact, reopen annual uncertainty, or let tariff pressure keep biting.
6. Frame 6Trade minister Dominic LeBlanc heads to Washington next week while Trump decides whether North America's rulebook stays stable.
