Canada's PM urges domestic buying amid U.S. tariff threats over China ties.

Following former President Donald Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on Canadian goods if Ottawa strengthens its economic ties with China, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is urging Canadians to "buy Canadian" and "build Canadian" amid growing trade tensions with the United States. Carney highlighted recent agreements with China to lower tariffs on specific agricultural exports and set quotas on Chinese electric vehicles, emphasizing the importance of bolstering domestic economic resilience by promoting local industries and lowering reliance on foreign trade. With officials emphasizing that no free trade agreement with China is being pursued, the call comes as Canada looks to diversify its trade relationships while preserving strong economic ties with the United States.
