Carney set to meet with premiers in Charlottetown as Trump tariff threat looms as Canada prepares for potential retaliatory measures. Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to meet provincial and territorial premiers on Thursday in Charlottetown, as U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened “stacked” tariffs on Canadian goods continue to weigh on negotiations. The premiers spent much of Wednesday in closed-door discussions and said Thursday’s focus will be on hearing Ottawa’s plan for responding to Trump. On Monday, Trump signed an executive order imposing a new 50% tariff on some Canadian goods, including wine, hockey sticks, and cement, which the administration described as targeting discriminatory trade policies. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer faced questioning by U.S. senators on Wednesday. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said premiers will rally behind Carney and present a united “Team Canada” approach, while also arguing Canada should respond forcefully if tariffs advance.
