Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has amped up the anti-US rhetoric since swooping in to replace Justin Trudeau at the helm of the Liberal Party, saying this week the Great White North doesn’t need the US.
Carney said he’s looking to diversify trade partnerships with like-minded countries and that Canada stands to gain “far more than Donald Trump can ever take away” — a change in tone from Trudeau, who tried to get Trump to back off on tariffs by calling it “a very dumb thing to do.”
“We must react with a crushing force,” Carney said during a leaders debate in Montreal Wednesday, repeatedly calling the trade war “the most important crisis of our lives.”
