Canada's Mark Carney Defies Trump's Latest Tariffs as 3 Fronts Test U.S. Economic Muscle

Summary
Mark Carney has taken a rare hard line against Donald Trump’s latest tariffs, putting Canada among the clearest new challengers to U.S. economic pressure.
That stance comes as Washington’s trade fight with Canada broadens into a wider pattern of resistance, with the report linking Ottawa’s response to pushback from Iran and from bond investors.
Trump’s use of tariffs, military force and market pressure is increasingly meeting limits from actors willing to absorb costs rather than yield to U.S. leverage.
The convergence suggests the White House is entering late summer with opposition building across trade, geopolitics and finance at the same time.
