Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has cautioned that the country’s long-standing economic dependence on the United States is now a strategic vulnerability that needs to be addressed.
In a video statement released on Sunday, Carney reflected on decades of close cooperation between Ottawa and Washington, noting that the depth of economic integration has increasingly exposed Canada to external risks.
He stressed the need for a broader global outlook, urging policymakers to strengthen trade and economic partnerships beyond the United States. The prime minister indicated that Canada must reduce its reliance on any single partner to ensure long-term economic stability.
Carney’s remarks signal a potential shift in Canada’s economic strategy as it reassesses its position in an evolving global landscape and seeks to diversify its international ties.
