Canada evaluating 'all options' after fresh US tariffs threat
Context
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday he was looking at "all options" after US President Donald Trump made plans to impose new 50 percent tariffs on many Canadian goods in 30 days. Carney also said that he and Trump had agreed to "intensify discussions" in the coming weeks on a possible deal, but did not suggest he would travel to Washington for any talks.

What it means
This headline is a continuation of the ongoing US-Canada tariff dispute already covered in delfee's prior signal. The new details — Carney saying 'all options' are on the table and agreeing to intensify discussions — are consistent with what markets already priced in when the original tariff threat emerged. No new actors, channels, or genuine escalation beyond what was already called for CAD and automakers.
