And here we see why bending the knee to a sociopath like Trump never works. They will only experience validation for their previous bullying, and keep escalating regardless of whether they "won" or not.

I sincerely hope Carney tells Trump to stuff it and come back once he figured out trade agreements are relationships - they are supposed to provide mutual benefit to the parties involved.

Or, even more basically - tell him to first figure out what he really wants to achieve before making demands, because even that seems a cognitively impossible ask of the current US administration (see: https://www.reuters.com/business/japan-voice-concern-over-us-trade-deal-inconsistency-pm-ishiba-says-2025-04-21/).
