Mark Carney pivots Canada from US

In a significant shift in Canadian foreign policy, Prime Minister Mark Carney has signaled a move away from the country's traditional alignment with the United States.

Carney argued that global uncertainty and aggressive American tariff policies have made the long-standing bond a strategic liability.

The Prime Minister detailed efforts to attract new international investment and sign trade deals with partners in Europe and Asia.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized the move, urging the government to instead focus on securing a tariff-free deal with Washington.
