Canada Considers Low-Risk Possibility of US Military Action Amid Tensions
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged that his government has considered the unlikely but serious possibility of a US military attack as part of risk management amid rising trade tensions. He emphasized that this scenario is an 'extreme tail risk' and not a base case, but preparing for it is responsible. Carney highlighted Canada's efforts to diversify economic ties beyond the US and maintain mutual respect in bilateral relations. Officials noted the significant military imbalance between the two countries, and Carney maintains ongoing communication with US leadership.
