Most of that increase, Prime0:08Minister Mark Carney argues, isn't0:10rising international prices. [music]0:12It's tariff pass-through, meaning0:13American buyers are paying more than the0:15tariff itself. [music] From the floor of0:17a Rio Tinto facility in Quebec, Carney0:20delivered the number he hopes will break0:21the impasse, 58%.0:24>> [music]0:24>> The talks have accelerated with less0:26than 2 weeks until August 19th, when the0:28United States [music] can impose a 50%0:31tariff under Section 338, a 1930s trade0:34law the Trump administration says Canada0:36discriminated against. The deadline is0:38now 13 days away, and what happens with0:41aluminum could determine whether that0:43date becomes a cliff or a launching0:45point. Canada's chief negotiator Janice0:47Sherry is meeting her American0:49counterpart on a daily basis, trying to0:52use the existing aluminum tariff pain to0:54head off the far broader Section 3380:56threat. Carney listed the resources the0:58Americans want, energy, potash, critical1:02minerals, aluminum, and said for Canada1:04[music]1:04it's all connected. But Conservative1:06leader Pierre Poilievre says Carney is1:08making concession after concession1:10before even reaching the bargaining1:11table, and is [music] calling on him to1:13use that leverage to get something in1:15return.1:22Carney didn't return fire. "Whatever1:24adjective is used," he said, "we're1:26standing up for Canadian workers, for1:28Canadian businesses."1:35Louise Blais says it will be difficult1:37before it gets easier, and a full1:39resolution in 2 weeks is unlikely. The1:41renewal of the US-Mexico-Canada1:43Agreement is probably a longer-term1:45prospect. For now, the question is1:47whether a narrow aluminum breakthrough1:48can delay [music] the existential1:50tariffs, or whether Carney's1:51all-connected approach gives away1:53leverage before the real bargaining1:54begins.Przeczytaj artykułOś czasu historiiHeyDexKrótki film ↗
