The U.S-Canada trade war is taking a sharper political turn as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hits back at Donald Trump and his cabinet. Carney says U.S. officials’ remarks mocking the Canadian military are 'beneath their office' and urges Washington to stop the taunts, memes and tough talk. Meanwhile, tariffs and retaliatory measures threaten key sectors, including automobiles, energy, metals and agriculture. With trade talks stalled, Carney insists Canada will defend its industries, economic interests and sovereignty. As tensions rise between two deeply interconnected economies, the question is whether Washington and Ottawa can put political rhetoric aside and return to serious negotiations. Gursshheen Gahllen brings you the report on Firstpost Live.
