Canadian PM Carney seeks alliances in Europe amid Trump’s trade war & sovereignty threats

Firstpost  

At his swearing-in ceremony on Friday, Carney noted the country was built on the bedrock of three peoples, French, English and Indigenous, and said Canada is fundamentally different from America and will “never, ever, in any way shape or form, be part of the United States.” Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will travel to Paris and London on Monday to strengthen alliances amid tensions with US President Donald Trump over Canada’s sovereignty and economy. During his swearing-in ceremony on Friday, he emphasised Canada’s distinct identity, built on French, English, and Indigenous heritage, asserting that the country will “never, ever, in any way shape or form, be part of the United States.” “The Trump factor is the reason for the trip. Nor can you have a rational conversation with someone who simply sits there and repeats disproven lies.” Bothwell said that Trump demands respect, “but it’s often a one-way street, asking others to set aside their self-respect to bend to his will.” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it is absolutely essential that Canada diversify trade amidst the ongoing trade war with the United States. “President Trump’s aggressive talk about both Canada and Greenland and the apparent rapprochement between Russia, a strong Arctic power, and the United States under Trump have increased anxieties about our control over this remote yet highly strategic region,” Béland said.
