Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney urges partnerships with more countries

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney set a goal for his country to double its non-US exports in the next decade.

Carney said many of Canada's former strengths, based on close ties to America, have become vulnerabilities as Washington's tariffs cause a chill in investment.

"Our partners around the world are already taking note of new Canadian ambition. Last month, we signed a historic free trade deal with Indonesia, the world's fourth largest country by population. We've just signed foundational agreements with the United Arab Emirates in AI, and with the EU in defence and trade, and with Germany in critical minerals. We're reengaging with global giants, India and China, while we deepen our partnerships with our traditional allies."
