The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that Canada quietly prepared for the possibility of military action ordered by Donald Trump amid escalating tensions between the two countries.
- Trump’s rhetoric, including threats to make Canada the 51st U.S. state and imposing tariffs on Canadian goods, unsettled Canadians and led Ottawa to consider extreme scenarios despite Trump ruling out military force in favor of economic measures.
- The trade conflict has pushed Canada to strengthen ties with the European Union, with EU leaders supporting closer relations, which Trump has threatened to retaliate against with tariffs on Europe.
- France’s Europe minister rebuked Trump’s comments, emphasizing that the U.S. has no authority over the EU’s foreign policy decisions, and Canada aims to reduce its economic dependence on the U.S.
- Despite the tensions, Carney maintains a good relationship with Trump, with frequent communications continuing even after trade negotiations collapsed.
