On Friday night, after recalling Canada's negotiators, Kearney released a statement saying, We have recognized from the beginning that America has changed and that we will not return to our old relationship.

Although negotiators had tried to work with the US, he wrote, Canada's core economic strategy has been on building Canada's economy and diversifying economic partnerships.
podcast-host
He noted that Canada is creating jobs at four times the rate of the United States.

Canada has what the world wants, he wrote, and we will not allow any nation to determine our future.

podcast-host
We are keeping that promise.
podcast-host
