Canada's PM Discusses Preparing for Unlikely US Military Action and Reducing Dependence
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged that his government has considered the unlikely but severe risk of US military action against Canada, describing it as an "extreme tail risk" and emphasizing the importance of preparedness. Despite strained trade relations and President Trump's rhetoric about making Canada the 51st US state, Carney maintains frequent communication with Trump. He also outlined efforts to reduce Canada's economic and strategic dependence on the US, including diversifying away from US technology and satellite services like SpaceX's Starlink.
