Prime Minister Mark Carney is gathering his cabinet today and Friday in the mountain resort town of Banff, Alta., for closed-door meetings as U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war intensifies.
Trump lashed out again Tuesday by signing executive orders to ban certain Canadian imports later this month, including alcohol, motorcycles and dairy products.
The latest tit-for-tat comes after Ottawa levied tens of billions of dollars in counter-tariffs on the United States.
In a related development, that came after bilateral trade talks broke down at the eleventh hour and Trump pushed ahead with new duties on Canadian products.
The cabinet retreat comes as the Liberal the government body plans its agenda for the fall sitting of Parliament in less than two weeks.
Carney’s office says ministers at the retreat will hear from guest speakers on the economy, Indigenous partnerships and international affairs in closed-door sessions.
