In a video address, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada’s deep economic ties to the U.S. have become a “weakness” that needs fixing, according to the Associated Press. The remark comes as U.S. tariffs hit Canadian industries and political rhetoric between the countries intensifies.

Carney pointed to rising tariffs on sectors like steel and autos, warning they’ve created uncertainty and slowed investment. He also referenced broader changes in U.S. policy, saying Canada can no longer assume stability or a return to past trade norms.
According to Reuters, the comments follow recent friction with President Donald Trump, including annexation remarks and ongoing trade disputes.
Carney said his government will push to diversify trade and reduce reliance on the U.S., signaling a potential long-term shift in North American economic strategy.
