Canada PM Carney Visits China Amid Efforts to Reset Ties and Reduce US Dependence

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is visiting China to reset strained relations and reduce economic dependence on the United States. Beijing views the visit as an opportunity to encourage Canada toward "strategic autonomy" from Washington, especially amid U.S. tariffs and rhetoric. While progress on trade deals, including potential crude exports and canola tariffs, is anticipated, a definitive resolution is not expected. The trip aims to re-energize a dormant partnership and diversify Canada's global trade.
