Summary
Mark Carney said Canada will not curb oil or other vital resource exports to retaliate against US tariffs, rejecting calls to weaponize cross-border energy supply.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, the prime minister said Canada must protect its standing as a dependable producer because buyers trust it to keep supplying key commodities and services.
The stance signals Ottawa is prioritizing long-term commercial credibility over immediate trade-war escalation, even as US tariffs keep pressure on the bilateral relationship.
