Prime Minister Mark Carney says the United States will not be dictating terms of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) in upcoming negotiations, following reports that Washington has asked Ottawa for concessions before talks officially begin.

When asked by reporters in Ottawa if Canada would make any concessions before coming to the table, Carney responded, “No.”
