'We haven't spoken to Canada today,' the president said during an afternoon news conference at the White House. Referring to Carney, Trump said: 'He's called. And we'll see.'
Trump again criticized Carney's announcement that Canada plans to recognize a Palestinian state, but told reporters it's 'not a deal-breaker' in the trade talks.
The president has threatened to raise the import tax on Canadian goods to 35% by Friday, up from the current 25%, unless there's a deal between the two nations.
Trump spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday morning and shortly afterward the president extended tariff rates on Mexico for 90 days to allow more time for negotiations. He had previously said he might raise them to 30% on Friday, up from 25%.
However, there's currently a tariff exemption in place for both Canada and Mexico on goods shipped under the rules of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the accord that Trump signed in his first term. That means the majority of imports from both countries are currently tariff-free — though steel, aluminum and some other products have duties on them.
Asked what's holding up a deal for Canada, Trump reiterated previous complaints about Canadian protectionism of its dairy industry and its history of low military spending.
'They have to pay a fair rate, that's all. It's very simple,' Trump said.
The US and Canada have a bilateral trade relationship worth more than $900 billion annually. The US imported $477 billion of goods and services from Canada last year and exported $441 billion, according to US Commerce Department data.
Shortly before Trump's news conference, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on television that he doesn't see Trump 'stepping off the gas' with Canada. Lutnick said that if Carney 'starts turning on the charm, and if he takes down his retaliation,' Trump could 'let it down a bit.'
Carney, for his part, has said a number of times that he won't agree to a deal that is bad for Canada.

Nvidia's China Nightmare? H20 Chip Faces Backdoor Allegations in High-Stakes Trade Showdown
China's been turning up the heat on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and not in a good way. This week, the country's top internet watchdog summoned Nvidia reps over what it calls serious security risks tied to the H20 chipa product Nvidia designed specifically to meet U.S. export rules. State media pulled no punches either. In a commentary published Friday, the People's Daily warned of potential chip backdoors triggering a nightmare, saying it couldn't allow infected semiconductors into its digital infrastructure. Nvidia responded firmly: Cybersecurity is critically important to us, adding that its chips don't contain any remote access pathways. Still, in today's geopolitical climate, that reassurance may not be enough. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Here's where things get messier. Just a few weeks ago, the U.S. agreed to lift restrictions on H20 sales to China as part of a broader deal involving rare-earth magnetsmaterials critical for everything from smartphones to fighter jets. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had framed the H20 resumption as a meaningful breakthrough after bilateral talks in London, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the magnet issue was solved. But with Beijing now putting the H20 back under the microscope, it's unclear whether Nvidia has actually received the licenses it needs to ship the chips. And if China decides the H20 isn't up to pareither technically or politicallythose sales may stall before they even start. Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang has been walking a tightrope. Fresh off a high-profile visit to Beijing, Huang praised China's AI momentum and national champions like DeepSeek, all while pushing back on the idea that Nvidia would ever install surveillance backdoors into its products. He called the suggestion not only false, but bad business. Still, the reality is this: Nvidia's H20, already weaker than its flagship GPUs, now faces a political test that could matter more than its specs. Investors watching the tech standoff might want to pay close attention to what happens nextbecause this chip is turning into a geopolitical bargaining chip. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Crypto's $10 Billion Shakeout: Why Bitcoin's Rally Just Hit a Wall
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) extended its slide for a fifth straight session, dipping as much as 2.2% to $113,979 its lowest level in nearly a month as investor enthusiasm continues to cool following July's all-time high. That peak, which saw Bitcoin touch $123,200 just before President Donald Trump signed the country's first crypto regulatory framework into law, now feels like a distant memory. Ether also retreated sharply, falling 4.5% to $3,567, while the broader digital asset market gave back some of its recent gains after briefly crossing a $4 trillion market cap milestone last month. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The rally had been fueled by blockbuster ETF flows Bitcoin products attracted $6 billion in net inflows in July (third-best on record), while Ether ETFs brought in $5.4 billion, marking their strongest month yet. But momentum is showing signs of fatigue. Bitcoin's Coinbase premium a real-time measure of US investor appetite flipped negative this week for the first time in two months, according to CryptoQuant. Futures open interest on CME has dropped 13% for Bitcoin and 21% for Ether from their July peaks. These shifts suggest that institutions could be taking a more cautious stance as Q3 gets underway. Traders appear to be repositioning quickly. Over $800 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours alone including $251 million tied to Ether and $200 million to Bitcoin, based on Coinglass data. At the same time, downside protection is gaining traction. Nick Forster, founder of noted that Bitcoin's 30-day options skew has swung from +3% to -1.5%, pointing to rising demand for puts over calls. Roughly $10 billion in BTC was sold OTC on July 15, triggering a 4% price dip, he added. Miners also sold off about 15,000 BTC after the record high. Meanwhile, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) shares fell as much as 17% after Q2 revenue came in below estimates, underscoring a broader pullback in retail and institutional engagement alike.
