Carney: Close ties with the US have become a "disadvantage", and the US has undergone changes,to which we must respond 2026-04-24  In a video speech delivered via social media on the 19th, Canadian Prime Minister Carney stated,"The United States has fundamentally changed its trade practices, " raising tariffs to levels not seen since the Great Depression in the 1930s. Many of Canada's previous "advantages" based on its close ties with the United States have now turned into "disadvantages" that must be addressed. He said, "The United States has changed, and we must respond." Public opinion has interpreted Carney's speech in various ways. The American Newsweek stated, "Canada announces significant reduction in ties with the United States. " The Canadian Globe and Mail quoted analysts as saying that Carney is trying to "manage expectations," " especially for those who are disappointed with his failure to reach an agreement with the United States. Over the past year, the United States has imposed a series of tariffs on Canadian products imported into the United States, leading to a deterioration in bilateral relations. The Canadian government is taking a series of actions to reduce its dependence on the United States. Carney announced last Friday that a "Canadian Investment Summit" will be held in September this year, seeking to attract C$1 trillion (approximately RMB 4.9 trillion) in investment over the next five years. |
