OTTAWA, Oct 16 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday brushed off calls to retaliate against the United States over its tariffs on some Canadian exports, saying the two countries were deep in talks over key sectors.

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and autos earlier this year, prompting Canada to respond in kind. The two sides are now in negotiations about lifting the measures against steel and aluminum.
