Luthnick slams Canada on trade
Lutnick was responding to suggestions that Canada could benefit from slow-walking negotiations as political pressure on the U.S. increases.
He described the approach as the 'worst strategy' he had ever heard and vowed to wind back trade deals that he believes disadvantage American workers.
The comments have heightened tensions between Ottawa and Washington amid a broader trade war involving several G7 nations.
Canadian officials have yet to issue a formal response, but analysts warn the rhetoric could complicate upcoming talks on critical minerals and automotive imports.
