‘Sounds Like Me’: Trump Tells CNN He Torpedoed Trade Talks With Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump has acknowledged to CNN that he torpedoed trade talks with Canada, framing the decision as part of his broader negotiating strategy. The admission suggests the discussions broke down because of disagreements over tariffs, market access, or other economic demands. Canadian officials may now face pressure to respond while protecting exporters and preserving bilateral relations. Trump’s comments are likely to intensify debate over his use of trade pressure and consequences of abruptly ending negotiations with partners.
