Mark Carney Calls Canada's Economic Dependence on US a Weakness Requiring Correction

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared in a Sunday video address that Canada's economic reliance on the United States has transformed from a historical strength into a present vulnerability requiring urgent correction. Carney outlined his government's strategy to diversify economic relationships through new international trade agreements and investment attraction. He committed to providing regular public updates on these diversification efforts. The 10-minute address emphasized that many advantages previously derived from close American ties have now become liabilities. Carney's statement signals a significant policy shift toward reducing economic dependence on a single partner.
