Carney emphasized risk management and the importance of preparing for extreme scenarios, although he clarified this is not a likely base case.Despite tensions, Carney maintains frequent dialogue with trump, describing their relationship as direct and functional. Historically, Carney has expressed a desire for Canada to remain autonomous from U.S. influence, dismissing the idea of integration. Simultaneously occurring,trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musks-new-twitter-verification-process-devolves-into-a-confusing-mess\/\" title=\"Elon Musk\u2019s New Twitter Verification Process Devolves Into A Confusing Mess\">made provocative remarks<\/a> about the possibility of invading Canada,but there is no indication of official support for such actions.
