Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that Canada would apologize within weeks over tariffs by saying he had "no response" to the comment and laughing, while reiterating that Canada remains ready to negotiate a mutually beneficial trade agreement that respects both countries' sovereignty. He also stated that Canada would not rule out further measures in the trade dispute. Carney described the current period as "a more dangerous and divided world" and emphasized Canada's focus on export diversification and economic independence. Carney announced a $33-billion investment by LNG Canada to double production capacity at its Kitimat facility, which he said would connect Canadian energy to Asian and European markets, and a $1.2-billion investment in ocean conservation. He also addressed layoffs at Stelco's Hamilton steel plant, expressing disappointment and stating the government would use all available powers to enforce the company's employment obligations, attributing the situation to U.S. tariffs. At a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event, Carney said honouring Indigenous history requires confronting residential school harms and committed to closing gaps in education and housing. He also discussed a potential "alliance for the future" with the European Union, with details expected at a Canada-EU summit in Montreal, and announced $100 million in international assistance for Palestine at the UN General Assembly.
