With determination, Carney emphasized that Canada is ready to reshape its future, with or without the United States. He stated that any talks with Trump would center on mutual respect between two sovereign nations and made it clear that Canada is already seeking new alliances to bolster its prosperity.

“We are buying Canadian, supporting each other, and standing strong in this crisis we did not create,” he said. The prime minister vowed to lead a united front through what he described as a trade war, promising to emerge with the strongest economy in the G7—an economy that works for every Canadian. As Trump continues his rhetoric, Carney’s decisive tone signals a bold new chapter for Canada’s place on the world stage.
