New Prime Minister Mark Carney vows Canada will ‘never, ever’ be part of the US as he seeks alliances in Europe
The new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carne is heading to Paris and London on Monday to request alliances as he deals with US President Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada and its economy.
Carney intent on his foreign journey to capital in the two countries that formed the presence of early Canada.
At a ceremony held on Friday, Carney pointed out that the country was built on the basis of three peoples, French, English and indigenous people, and said that Canada is essentially different from America and will never “in any way or shape, be part of the United States.”
“Trump’s worker is the cause of the trip. Nelson Weizmann, a pride professor at the University of Toronto, said that the Trump has been a towel on anything else that Carney should deal with.
Carney, a 60 -year -old Central banker on Sunday, will meet with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Monday and later traveled to London to sit with UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer in an attempt to diversify trade and possibly coordinate response to the Trump tariff.
It will also meet with King Charles III, head of state in Canada. The trip to England is a somewhat homeland, as Carney is a former governor of England, and is the first non -citizen to be appointed in the role of the bank’s history of more than 300 years.
Carney then travels to the Edge of the Arctic in Canada to “reaffirm the security of the Arctic and sovereignty in Canada” before returning to Ottawa, where he is expected to call the elections within days.
Carney said he was ready to meet Trump if he showed respect for Canadian sovereignty. He said he is not planning to visit Washington at the present time, but he hopes to make a phone call with the president soon.
The 25 % overwhelming definitions and Trump’s conversation made Canada have angered the 51st Canadian state, and many avoid buying American goods when they can.
The Carney is reviewing the purchase of the US F-35 fighter aircraft in the light of Trump’s trade war.
The ruling liberal party appeared ready to defeat historical elections this year until Trump declared the economic war and said repeatedly that Canada should become the state 51. Now the party and its new leader can go out to the top.
Robert Butwail, a professor of Canadian history and international relations at the University of Toronto, said that Kareni is wise not to visit Trump.
“There is no benefit from going to Washington,” said Butwail. As (former Prime Minister Justin) explains Trudeau, all that results in Trump’s raw attempt to humiliate his guests. You cannot have a rational conversation with someone sitting there simply and repeat the reduced lies. “
Bouthwell said that Trump requires respect, “but he is often a street in one direction, and he asks others to put their respect for themselves aside to bend his will.”
Daniel Bellland, professor of political science at McGill University in Montreal, said it is very necessary that Canada diversity in the ongoing trade war with the United States. More than 75 % of Canada’s exports go to the United States
Belland said the sovereignty of the Arctic is also a major issue for Canada.
“President Trump’s aggressive talk about Canada and Greenland and the clear rapprochement between Russia, the strong Arctic power, and the United States under Trump increased concern about our control of this remote and very strategic region,” said Belland.
