Carney: Canada to Double Non-US Exports, Citing US Unreliability
As part of ongoing efforts, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has set a goal to double non-U.S. exports within the next decade, citing the negative impact of American tariffs on investment. The Prime Minister’s remarks indicated that Canada’s reliance on the U.S. as a primary trade partner has created vulnerabilities, with industries like autos, steel, and lumber facing challenges. With decades-long economic ties between the two nations now shifting, Canada is re-engaging globally, including with India and China, to diversify its trade partnerships, especially since the free trade deal with the U.S. is up for review in 2026.
