Trump Shattered Canada’s Old US Relationship. Carney Is Building a New One in Europe – WTOP News
Carney is courting European partners and investors as he seeks to double non-U.S. trade and reduce Canada’s reliance on American markets.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is actively reducing Canada's economic dependence on the United States, pursuing alternative trade partnerships with European leaders following the recent suspension of bilateral negotiations with President Donald Trump.
- Prompted by Trump's tariffs and demands for policy changes, Carney walked away from trade talks in August, stating the administration views current economic integration as incompatible with Canada maintaining its sovereignty.
- During a European tour last week, Carney met French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, arguing that 'middle powers must act together' to ensure economic resilience.
- Former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper stated the government had 'no choice but to take this path,' while Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne noted the 'most sought after commodity today is trust.'
- Aiming to double non-U.S. trade over the next decade, Carney is targeting a free-trade deal with India by year's end, while Dominic Barton, chair of Invest in Canada, describes Trump's pressure as a 'jolt.
