Carney calls for new partnership with US ahead of Trump's decision on FTA

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a new partnership with the United States on Thursday, just weeks before President Donald Trump decides on whether to renew the free trade agreement between the countries. Carney said in a speech at the Economic Club of New York that there should be a "true partnership" that re-imagines cooperation in specific sectors challenged by global competition. He made the remarks ahead of the mandatory review of United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, in July. Carney said Canada is diversifying away from the US and signing trade deals with dozens of countries around the world. "Our core objective across these partnerships is to increase our strategic autonomy. Because we live in a world where integration has been weaponised. Because a country that cannot feed, fuel or defend itself is not truly sovereign," Carney said. Trump's actions -- including launching a trade war and suggesting Canada become the 51st US state -- have infuriated .

Canadian PM Mark Carney secures majority government in special election

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney secured a majority government with a special election outcome Monday night, allowing his Liberals to pass legislation without the support of opposition parties. Voters cast ballots for three vacant seats of the 343 districts represented in Parliament. The public Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected a Liberal win in a Toronto district. Results for two other districts are expected Monday night. Carney won Canada's election last year fueled by public anger over US President Donald Trump's annexation threats. His Liberal party could stay in power until 2029 after Monday's results. Five defections from opposition parties to Carney, including four from the main opposition Conservative party, put Carney's Liberals on the cusp of the majority. Before Monday's results, the Liberals had 171 members of Parliament in the House of Commons. One of those defectors referenced Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as helping

Canada, Australia urge war de-escalation, but agree Iran can't get nukes

The Canadian and Australian prime ministers on Thursday called for a de-escalation of the Iran war but added the Iranians must never gain a nuclear weapon. Canada's Mark Carney and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese discussed the war during their meeting in Australia's capital, Canberra. The meeting came after news that a US submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean and Turkiye said NATO defences intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran before it entered Turkiye's airspace. "We want to see a broader de-escalation of these hostilities with a broader group of countries than just the direct belligerents involved," Carney said at a press conference with Albanese. "We stress that that cannot be achieved unless we're in a position that Iran's ability to acquire a nuclear weapon, develop a nuclear weapon, and to export terrorism, is ended. So that process must lead to those outcomes," Carney added. He said the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, which were

Canada to revoke citizenship of Tahawwur Rana ahead of Carney's India visit

Ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to India, the Canadian government is pushing to revoke the citizenship of a Pakistan-born businessman, Tahawwur Rana Hussain, accused of playing a key role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. Rana, 64, is a Pakistan-born Canadian national and close associate of one of the main conspirators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, David Coleman Headley, alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen. Documents obtained by Global News show that immigration officials have notified Rana that they intend to strip him of the Canadian citizenship he acquired in 2001. He immigrated to Canada in 1997 and was later convicted in the US of plotting to attack staff at a Danish newspaper. Rana, the mastermind behind the 26/11 attack, which killed 166 people, was extradited from the United States to India in April 2025. He was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as soon as he landed in New Delhi. In its decision, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
