Carney’s doctrine on Trump: Respect, Patience, Diversity

It was another long week in Canadian politics-and it looks as if it would end with an electoral call.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to contact the elections on Sunday, and April 28 is the most likely date, our sources tell us.

I spent 48 hours traveling with Mr. Carne to Paris, London and Kabait, from Sunday to Tuesday, as part of a small group of journalists who accompanied him on his first foreign trip as prime minister (news organizations covering the costs of travel).

Today I will share some observations on how to take Mr. Carney’s approach to President Trump’s threats in a more clear form and he is, skillfully but in a distinct way, different from his predecessor. Dealing with Mr. Trump will be one of the most important issues – if not the most important – in voting, and we tell us the strategy of the emerging master of what he will do if he is elected.

Ian Austin will return next week with our message in Canada while we dive into the election period seriously.

respect

Mr. Carney put respect at the core of how he talks about President Trump – which indicates that he will not engage if Mr. Trump carries his description as a “ruler” as he did with Justin Trudeau.

Upon accepting his party’s leadership on March 9, Mr. Carney said that he will not remove the revenge definitions in Canada unless the United States shows respect for his country.

On his tour of Europe this week, sharpening that message.

In London, at a press conference at the High Commissioner in Canada, he told us about the American leadership, “They are not respected, and they are not useful and they must stop before – they will have to stop before – we sit and talk about our broader partnership.”

No rush

It also seems that Mr. Carney is not in a hurry to hold these conversations with Mr. Trump, and it is believed that Canada’s approach should be slow, generous and measure, instead of rushing to retreat to reduce customs tariffs or search for a deal under of coercion.

He tells him – at the time of writing this report on Friday evening – has not yet been contacted with Mr. Trump since the Prime Minister swore last week.

At the Etabout station, I asked Mr. Carney if he was changing his strategy towards Mr. Trump. Here is what he said: “I am less interested in responding to every initiative placed on the table. We want to conduct this broader conversation. This will not happen overnight. There is no single magic meeting that will open things.”

He added: “The major issues about trade will need to take them comprehensively, and they will be taken from a Canadian perspective, from the position of strength.”

The dollar for the dollar

Mr. Carney also stated, for the first time, that the retaliatory approach to the dollar against the dollar for the American definitions “has limits”, which indicates that while he was committed to the measures that Mr. Trudeau set, it may be less willing to escalate.

New friends

Mr. Carney’s tweak was a attempt to highlight that he is comfortable on the world stage, and he is known and loved by foreign leaders. But he also took steps this week indicating that he puts the team with non -American powers in the heart of his American policy.

This announcement, which was made in a Tuesday’s look, came to have ended Australia as a partner to develop a radar on the surface in the Arctic. ABC, Australian National broadcaster, I mentioned The United States was also talking about a similar deal with Canberra, but they stopped during the era of Mr. Trump, allowing Mr. Carney to complete the Canada agreement first.

On Friday, we exclusively informed that Canada was a great partner in the European Union for the new military industrial initiative in which Canada is formed, which would allow Nada to reach the preferential access to European defense contracts. The motivation behind this effort is the United States’s desire for allies to stay away from their dependence on American military equipment.

Mr. Carne discussed this in detail with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Lin, on the phone on Sunday, and with President Emmanuel Macron from France personally on Monday.

Canada is confident

Mr. Carney also indicated that he wanted to stop talking about Mr. Trump’s threats “51 state”, although he takes it seriously. In London, he called the United States to include “unimaginable”.

Instead, he wants to lead to home the idea that he believes that Canada should be confident at this moment instead of asking for external verification.

Some major quotes on this topic include:

“We do not need another country to verify the validity of sovereignty. (London, March 17).

“We can defend ourselves. Canada is strong.” (London, March 17).

“We can give ourselves more than anything that President Trump or any other commercial partner can take away.” (I kissa, March 18).
