    “This is a negotiation,” he said, adding that the government will know “a lot more” in a week. “In a negotiation, it doesn’t make sense to tip your hand.”

    Noting that the threatened tariffs apply to all countries, not just Canada and Mexico, Carney said, “We have the best deal of a bad deal, is the way I would put it.”

    More reciprocal tariffs are coming on April 2, including tariffs on sectors like forestry, lumber, pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors.

    “We have a number of measures that we can take in response to those initiatives.”

    “I don’t want to set unreasonable expectations,” he added, saying there’s no silver bullet or quick fix, and that Canadians are understandably anxious.

    “I have every confidence in our country because I understand what President Trump does not: that we love Canada with every fibre of our being.”
