Mark Carney blasts US economic ties

Mark Carney blasts US economic ties

In a direct address to the nation, Carney emphasized that Canada can no longer rely on a single foreign partner for its economic security.

He cited the impact of US tariffs on the auto and steel industries as a primary reason for seeking broader international trade partnerships.

The Prime Minister's shift in rhetoric signals a significant departure from decades of Canadian foreign policy focused on North American integration.

Opposition leaders have questioned whether the government is doing enough to protect Canadian workers from a potential global recession.
