Carney set to deliver remarks, pitch Canada as investment hub in New York
Carney is expected to outline Canada’s new economic strategy as trade tensions with the United States deepen and CUSMA talks remain unsettled.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in New York City to pitch Canada as an investment destination while delivering remarks at the Economic Club of New York outlining the country's new economic strategy.
- President Donald Trump froze negotiations with Canada last year after an Ontario-sponsored ad quoting former President Ronald Reagan angered him; the Trump administration paused the Permanent Joint Board on Defense earlier this month.
- U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday Canada is in a "different spot" on tariffs and it's "hard to see where that ends," while Greer suggested the Trump administration is unlikely to rubber-stamp a CUSMA renewal.
- The CUSMA review sets up a three-way choice for each country in July: renew for 16 years, withdraw, or trigger annual reviews lasting up to a decade, though the United States has not yet officially launched negotiations with Canada.
- Amid bilateral tensions, Carney has focused on securing investment and deepening ties with other countries, announcing Wednesday a defense deal with Sweden's Saab for surveillance aircraft for the Royal Canadian Air Force.
