Canadian Prime Minister Carney has faced criticism from opposition parties for his dismissive response regarding recent communications with U.S. President Donald Trump, as American tariffs on Canadian goods have increased. The tariffs have notably affected industries such as aluminum, autos, steel, and forestry, prompting concerns for Canadian workers.

Negotiations between Canada and the United States have stalled, partly due to actions by Ontario's government that angered President Trump. Carney has indicated he may speak with Trump in the coming weeks and is considering attending the FIFA World Cup draw in Washington, where a meeting could take place, though the status of U.S. engagement remains uncertain.

The Prime Minister seemed a bit fed up at being pressed on when his last call was with Donald Trump. Who cares? I mean it's a detail, it's a detail. I spoke to him, I'll speak to him again when it matters. The Conservatives care a lot it seems about that remark. He says who cares? He literally looked in the camera and said who cares? American tariffs on aluminum, autos and steel have doubled. On forestry communities, they have tripled. We care about those people, why doesn't he? Mr. Speaker, we're going to continue to support Canadian workers and the Canadian economy and negotiate a deal with the United States. But any deal has been on ice since Ontario's government ticked off Trump with this TV ad played in the U.S. pointing at Republican icon Ronald Reagan generally disagreed with tariffs. The U.S. president threatened to hit Canada with another 10% tariff though that hasn't materialized. Before that, Carney talked of Trump texting him at all hours even in the middle of the night. Not anymore. I look forward to speaking to the president soon but I don't have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now. He appeared a little dismissive of the United States and the impact of the tariffs on Canadians and I think obviously that wasn't optimal and we just have to hope that it doesn't in fact continue to deteriorate the relationship. The prime minister says he expects to probably speak to Trump in the next two weeks. His office confirms he's considering attending the FIFA World Cup draw in Washington December 5th where he might see Trump. Though right now it's not clear how much the U.S. president would care.
