Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday said Canada could offset the effects of any U.S. tariffs by removing internal trade barriers and that he aimed for free trade within the country by July 1, after meeting provincial and territorial leaders.

Winning 85.9 percent of Liberal Party members’ votes, he promised that Trump’s trade war would not threaten Canada’s sovereignty. “In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win,” he said in his victory speech earlier this month.
