Carney says US asked Canada for stricter steel safeguards, not sovereignty surrender
Prime Minister Mark Carney clarified that the United States requested Canada to adopt tougher steel protections, not to give up its sovereignty.
During recent trade talks, Carney explained that Washington sought stronger measures to shield its steel market and asked Canada to align with those standards. He emphasized that this request was about protecting domestic industry, not ceding control. The discussion reflects ongoing coordination among allies to counter non-market economies such as China.
