Mark Carney Sends Message to Donald Trump as Canada Seeks 'Reliable Partners'

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made a subtle jab at U.S. President Donald Trump in a statement about his need to find "reliable partners" in trade.

The newly elected leader of the incumbent Liberal Party said Canada needed "new trade routes" in the wake of Trump's aggressive tariff policy, which drastically increased taxes on Canadian goods entering the U.S.

Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email.

Why It Matters

Carney recently replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, amid heightening tensions around tariffs with the U.S., its largest trade partner. He has previously called Trump's trade policy "unjust" and has rejected calls by Trump to make Canada the 51st state.

Trump's tariffs have resulted in a trade war between the two countries, and deepening political and ideological divisions have raised concerns about the future relationship between the longtime allies.

What To Know

In a statement posted on social media on Thursday, Carney outlined his priorities as prime minister for the next few months, highlighting the search for alternative trade partners.
