00:01Merci.
00:02My name is Anders Tvegård.
00:04I'm with the Norwegian Public Broadcasting NRK.
00:07Mr. Carney, Canada, under your leadership, are meeting US tariffs by imposing the same
00:15on their goods.
00:16Is that a tactic that you would advise countries like Norway to follow in dealing with President
00:23Trump?
00:23And, if I may, what can you do to repair the relationship as long as Trump is in office?
00:31And, Mr. Stoehrer, what can you learn from your Canadian counterpart in how to deal with
00:37the current US president?
00:40And being here in Canada, if possible, please answer in English and French.
00:49I got very worried.
00:51It would be a very short answer in Norwegian if I were giving it.
00:56Well, look, these bilateral trading relationships, particularly with the United States, which
01:05is in the process of changing all of its trading relationships, they're unique.
01:12Each of them are unique.
01:13There's a common thread, which is the US, and I'm going to use their term, which is they
01:18charge for access to their market, either with a tariff, sometimes with a tariff and other
01:24domestic policy changes, sometimes with a tariff, domestic policy changes and investment commitments
01:29into the United States.
01:30That's the language they use.
01:32It depends on the overall relationship, and it also depends on the other options that countries
01:37have.
01:38So I wouldn't give advice to others in terms of how to behave, in part because we start
01:46from a different situation than most countries, in that there's talk of having a deal.
01:52Well, we have a deal with the United States.
01:53We actually have a deal.
01:54It's called CUSMA, Canada-US-Mexican Trade Agreement.
02:00And these actions are not consistent with that deal.
02:04So we start from a different position.
02:06Of course, we have to recognize, the Prime Minister used a moment ago the term pragmatic.
02:11We have to be pragmatic and recognize realities.
