Trump will want talks as Americans suffer from trade war, says Canada PM

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that US President Donald Trump will ultimately respect Canada's sovereignty and be ready for comprehensive trade talks because Americans are going to suffer from Trump's trade war. Carney said talks with Trump will not happen until we get the respect we deserve as a sovereign nation. By the way, this is not a high bar. Trump kept up his near-daily attacks on Canada on Friday, repeating that the country should be the 51st state and that the US keeps Canada afloat. When I say they should be a state, I mean that, the American president said. Carney met with Canada's provincial leaders at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa for trade war talks. Carney, sworn in last Friday, still hasn't had a phone call with Trump. Trump mocked Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau, by calling him Governor Trudeau, but he has not yet mentioned Carney's name. The new prime minister said he wants a comprehensive discussion on trade and security with the America

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said the plan includes building fighter jets in Canada. In Canada, where U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a trade war and has threatened economic coercion to make it the 51st American state, Defense Minister Bill Blair has been tasked by Prime Minister Mark Carney to review the purchase of America's F-35 fighter jets to see if there are other options given the changing environment, a defense spokesman said on the weekend. Carney has said the potential for having more production in Canada is a factor. A proposal by Sweden's Saab promised that assembly and maintenance of the Saab Gripen fighter jet would tak
