President Donald Trump called Canada and its leadership “nasty” during a speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday, escalating his public attacks on Ottawa as the two governments remain divided over trade and Canadian officials negotiate in Washington. They’re nasty,” Trump said while discussing the tariffs imposed during his second term. Reuters reported that Trump also referred to the country’s “nasty leadership.” Carney has said Canada is seeking a comprehensive settlement rather than a narrower agreement covering only selected tariffs or industries. Canada has rejected Trump’s statehood remarks and maintained that its trade measures respond to US tariffs that Ottawa considers inconsistent with CUSMA.
