The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney spent much of last year trying unsuccessfully to reach a deal with Donald Trump to mitigate the worst of the U.S. President's trade war. The Globe's Adrian Morrow and Matthew Scace write that negotiations restarted this spring after the White House had frozen them for several months, but have so far shown few signs of progress. U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra has been one of Mr. Trump's loudest representatives on the world stage. Shortly after Ontario's anti-tariff ad, Mr. Hoesktra screamed and swore at David Paterson, the province's representative to the U.S., at a dinner in Ottawa. Speaking at a conference in Edmonton on Monday, Mr. Hoekstra complained that anti-American sentiment was making it more complicated to reach a trade agreement. He did not acknowledge that this sentiment arose in response to Mr. Trump's tariffs and repeated threats of annexation. "I have a problem," he said. "Canadians don't think very highly of the United States right now. It makes it harder for politicians to get to an agreement." For the most part, however, he seemed in a jocular mood, taking a shot of whisky with his hosts to toast Canada-U.S. friendship.
