Canada's Carney Calls U.S. Economic Ties a Weakness Needing Correction

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated in a video address that Canada's historically strong economic ties with the United States have become a weakness due to recent U.S. trade policies, including tariffs affecting key industries like auto and steel. Carney emphasized the need to diversify Canada's economy by attracting new investments and pursuing trade agreements with other countries. He pledged to provide regular updates on efforts to address these challenges amid a more divided global trade environment.
