Newly installed Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday that his country’s “old relationship” with the United States “is over” as President Donald Trump’s tariffs threaten to damage the Canadian economy.
During a press conference, Carney, who won his position atop the Liberal Party earlier this month after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down, said that he plans to “fight the U.S. tariffs with retaliatory trade actions of our own that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impacts here in Canada.” The new prime minister added, “The old relationship we had with the United States, based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperations, is over.”
