As Prime Minister, I’ve heard that message loud and clear. Today, I’ve shared my plan to set out on a new path for Canada — and act with focus and determination.
“Our old relationship, based on steadily increasing integration, is over,” Carney said, hinting at a shift in cross-border cooperation. The meeting is expected to set the tone for a new phase in U.S.-Canada relations under Carney’s leadership.
