Carney made the comments in Ottawa after pausing his campaign ahead of Canada’s April 28 election to meet cabinet members working on US relations.
Carney on Friday confirmed those talks would begin within weeks.
Carney added that Friday’s meeting addressed reaction to the escalating global trade war, with China saying Friday would it raise its tariffs on US goods to 125 percent -- almost matching the staggering 145 percent level imposed on Chinese goods coming into America.
Canadian exports in the auto sector, steel, aluminum and select other goods are currently subject to US tariffs. Thousands of Canadian auto workers have had their hours cut.
Current polls indicate Carney’s Liberal Party is on track to win the upcoming election, but the outlook could shift in the campaign’s final weeks.
