19. Carney tells ASEAN summit Canada respects trade rules, as Trump threatens new tariffs
Sun Oct 26, 2025, 09:21 AM
Sunday
Carney told ASEAN leaders on Sunday that the emergence of “transactional bilateral trade” and a new era of great power rivalry are challenging the global institutions that middle powers like Canada and Southeast Asian countries have relied upon.

He said those changes underscore the need for reliable partners — and said Canada is one such partner.

After a meeting with the president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Carney’s office said the pair agreed to try and finalize a bilateral trade agreement in 2026.

Carney also met with the prime ministers of Laos and Vietnam on the sidelines of the summit before taking part in a fireside chat at the ASEAN business and investment summit.
