Canadian PM Mark Carney Ends Era of Close U.S.-Canada Cooperation

Carney rejects U.S. reliability, criticizes new tariffs, and seeks election mandate to prioritize Canadian sovereignty and economic independence.

Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the end of close U.S.-Canada cooperation, citing the United States as an unreliable partner under President Donald Trump.
Carney condemned new U.S. tariffs, including a proposed 25% tariff on cars, and pledged retaliatory measures to minimize impact on Canada while targeting U.S. interests.
He emphasized respect for Canadian sovereignty as a non-negotiable condition for any future dialogue with the United States.
Carney outlined plans to build a 'new Canadian economy' by reducing interprovincial trade barriers and fostering economic independence.
As part of his strategy, Carney is campaigning for early elections on April 28 to secure a public mandate for countering U.S. trade policies and safeguarding national sovereignty.
