The relationship between Canada and the United States is shifting dramatically. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has made it clear: the old partnership is over.
❗ "The U.S. Is No Longer a Reliable Partner"
On March 27, after a special cabinet meeting on U.S. trade policies, Carney delivered a strong message:
✅ "The long-standing economic and security cooperation with the U.S. is over."
✅ "America can no longer be trusted as a partner."
✅ "Some trust may be restored through negotiations, but we cannot return to the past."
🔥 Canada’s Response: Smart Retaliation
Carney stated that Canada will respond strategically:
🔹 Targeted countermeasures to hurt the U.S. while minimizing damage to Canada.
🔹 A possible renegotiation of the USMCA trade deal, signed during Trump’s first term.
🔹 A comprehensive response plan set to be announced on April 2.
💡 Carney emphasized that Trump’s tariffs will ultimately harm American workers and consumers.
📞 Upcoming Call with Trump: A Fight for Sovereignty
According to the Financial Times, Carney is set to speak with Trump in the coming days. His message?
🚨 "Respect Canada’s sovereignty."
Trump has recently escalated tensions by saying:
👉 "Canada should become the 51st U.S. state."
This bold claim has triggered anti-American sentiment in Canada. In response, Carney stated:
❌ "Asking for sovereignty is not a big demand from us, but to him, it seems like a major issue."
