France Backs Carney as US Demands Called 'Extremely Radical'

Original: 🟠 UPDATE Canada Exploits US Pressure to Implement Long-Standing Policies French ambassador labels US demands 'extremely

France's ambassador to Canada has described US trade demands as 'extremely radical' and confirmed Paris supports Prime Minister Mark Carney's refusal to concede on key trade issues with Washington. Commentators say Canada is using American pressure as cover to push through long-standing domestic policies, a framing drawing attention across Europe and North America as trade tensions with the Trump administration continue.

Why now: France publicly siding with Canada against US trade demands escalates an ongoing transatlantic trade dispute.
