Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada’s strong economic ties to the U.S. were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.
Carney spoke in a video address released Sunday about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.
Carney said tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump have impacted workers in such major industries as auto and steel and prompted businesses to hold back investments.
The Canadian prime minister's comments came days after securing a majority government following special election wins and as the opposition Conservatives push him to deliver a U.S. trade deal, which was among his promises in last year’s election.
A review of the current version of the North American Free Trade Agreement between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico is scheduled for July.
