Carney tells Trump: Stop memes, get serious on trade

Canadian PM Mark Carney urged the US to drop social media antics and negotiate seriously on trade. Talks collapsed Aug. 21; Trump imposed 50% tariffs on $20B Canadian goods. Canada will retaliate with 15–50% tariffs from Sept. 8. Carney rejected US demands on autos, French-language protections, and limits on Canada's trade sovereignty.
