How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets we track didn't cover this story.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets framed the dispute around possible movement toward a deal, Canada’s caution and doubts that tariff relief lowered costs. The New York Post emphasized the White House view that a breakthrough may be near. Epoch Times focused on Carney’s stance that Canada is not rushing into an agreement. The Center Square said the relief largely shifts costs onto households.
