00:00Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has urged Washington to start being serious about trade
00:05negotiations. Carney says talks could resume if the U.S. takes a more constructive approach,
00:12but warns that Washington's current demands could wipe out entire Canadian industries.
00:19And when the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough
00:27and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions.
00:32But it's not constructive, but that's their democracy.
00:37Carney said the two sides had previously made progress on areas of mutual benefit,
00:42but talks have since broke down. Washington later imposed 50% tariffs on around US$20 billion worth
00:49of Canadian goods, prompting Ottawa to retaliate with matching tariffs.
00:53US President Donald Trump has also continued to taunt Canada on social media
00:57and ordered the U.S. federal government to refer to Lake Ontario as Lake America.
