Canadian prime Minister Mark Carney urged the United States to form a \u201ctrue partnership\u201d with Canada in sectors facing global competition, ahead of the July review of the USMCA. He argued that canada is increasing its strategic autonomy by diversifying trade beyond the U.S., while warning that American tariff threats have chilled investment.<\/p>\n

Carney said Canada and the U.S. should work together to compete with the world, and pointed to Canada\u2019s importance to U.S. supply chains-especially in aluminum,natural gas,electricity,crude oil,and critical minerals. He also emphasized that an integrated North American market for industries like autos is the most durable approach to withstand intense global competition.<\/p>\n

The remarks come amid anger in Canada over Trump\u2019s tariff actions and comments about annexation, and Carney has framed his push as part of a broader effort to coordinate among countries seeking alternatives to U.S. pressure. He met with major financial firms<\/a> in New York, while Canada\u2019s U.S. trade minister, Dominic LeBlanc, prepares for talks in Washington. <\/p>\n
