Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared the country's close historical ties to the United States have become a weakness. This statement follows his recent condemnation of President Trump's tariffs on Canadian exports like steel, aluminum, and autos. Carney also referenced Trump's repeated musings about annexing Canada and turning it into the 51st U.S. state, framing the relationship as increasingly one-sided and threatening. The remarks signal a deepening rift in the North American alliance under the current U.S. administration.
