Carney: Canada Must Diversify Trade, Stand Alone

0:00It's April 20th. Global news today starts now, AI powered and always on. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dropped the video address, Sunday, laying it out straight, Canada's deep economic links to the United States used to. Be our superpower, but now they're dragging us down, and we gotta fix that fast. He pointed to President Donald Trump's tariffs, cranked up to levels not seen since the Great Depression, hitting hard in auto and steel sectors, with businesses freezing investments amid all the uncertainty. Canadians are fired up over Trump's jabs, like floating Canada as the 51st state, and his clapback after Carney's dabble speech calling out big. Powers bullying smaller ones. Fresh off election wins for majority government. Carney's pushing to diversify trade, draw in new investments, double clean energy output, cut. Internal barriers, boost defense spending, slash taxes, and make housing affordable. We can't bank on the U.S. snapping back to normal.
