Canada’s incoming prime minister, Mark Carney, has issued a stern rebuke to the US president.
Carney has vowed to address the difficulties that his country is currently experiencing as a result of actions taken by the United States.
President Donald Trump has implemented tariffs on various products imported from Canada.
Carney has pledged to retaliate with trade tariffs of his own and is working to rally Canadians against the challenges posed by the United States.
With elections looming in Canada, the political implications of this stance remain to be seen.
Will Canada’s strong relationship with the US be able to weather this storm?
