️🇨🇦🇺🇸NYT: Canadian Prime Minister Carney has been preparing over the past year for the risk that US President Trump might order military action against Canada.

However, Carney maintains a good relationship with Trump as the two frequently discuss issues with each other.

"From my point of view, we have a good relationship in the sense that we can pick up the phone and talk to each other about issues

He is direct. I will be direct in terms of where the positions are. It's much more effective that way, and that's how you know it exists and will continue to exist."

He reassured that trade negotiations with the US could still be revived after their collapse. He also made it clear that he was reluctant to leverage energy exports to the US.
