He told reporters: “The old relationship that we had with the United States, based on the deepening of integration between our economies, security cooperation and military cooperation, has ended.”

“The time for the extensive re -negotiation of our security and commercial relationship will come.”

Carney’s comments seem to doubt the future of USMCA, which was Negotiation Between the two countries and Mexico during the previous Trump administration and was welcomed as one of the most important trade deals in the world.

Carney said that Canada will fight American definitions With revenge trade procedures on its own “which will have the maximum impact in the United States and the minimum effects in Canada.”

He said earlier this month: “Based on the duration and duration of American definitions, the economic impact may be severe; uncertainty alone causes harm already.”

Carney said that the car sector in Canada can escape the Trump tariff, but it will require “access to other markets”, and the country needs to “re -perceive the auto sector and rebuild (and) re -equipment.”

He recently traveled to London and Paris, his first trip as prime minister, in an attempt to enhance trade with other partners in the wake of American hostilities.

Carney, in the middle of a national electoral campaign before voting on April 28, said he would speak to Trump on “Today or two days.”

He said that some Canadian cabinet members can go to Washington to meet their counterparts.
