President Donald Trump said late Oct. 23 that he was ending “all trade negotiations” with Canada because of a television ad in that country opposing U.S. tariffs.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is in “intensive negotiations” with the U.S. and that he expects to see President Donald Trump at the APEC summit in Gyeongju, South Korea, next week. 

Stellantis declined to comment on conversations with the government. It has confirmed it’s adding a third shift at an Ontario facility and described Canada as “very important” to its plans.

Trump’s tariffs have cast a chill over the Canadian automotive sector, but have also affected U.S.-based companies.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pitched deeper cooperation with the U.S. on energy, including a possible revival of the Keystone XL pipeline, in his meeting with President Donald Trump.

Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Oct. 7, and the president described the disagreements as “natural conflicts” because they’re competing for the same business.

One of the world’s most durable and amicable alliances has been fractured by Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.

U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos and lumber — all major export industries for Canada — remain in place.

Mark Carney’s task is to convince Canadians and opposition lawmakers that his planned spending will eventually boost the resilience and productive capacity of the economy.

Mark Carney also said his government would waive 2026 model year vehicles from Canada’s zero-emission standard and review the overall mandate, confirming a Bloomberg News report.
