Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has "no intention" of pursuing a free trade deal with China.
"We have no intention of doing that with China or any other non-market economy," he told reporters on Sunday in Ottawa. "What we've done with China is to rectify some issues that have developed in the last couple of years."
Carney said that under the continental trade pact, known as CUSMA, Canada cannot pursue free trade agreements with non-market economies - ones driven more by government than market forces without prior notification.
Carney's remarks come one day after US President Donald Trumpآ threatened to impose 100 per cent tariffsآ on Canada if it goes through with a trade deal with China. (
