Canadian PM says close economic ties with US have become a rCLweaknessrCY <

rCLMany of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America,
have become weaknesses,rCY [Carney] added. rCLWeaknesses that we must
correct.rCY
Even more dramatic:
While tensions have eased between Trump and Carney, and some
tariffs have been rolled back, the Canadian leader has sought
closer economic ties with countries such as China to reduce
CanadarCOs dependence on the US.
Remarkable to think, isnrCOt it, that the USrCO attempt to restrain the
growth of China as a political and economic power is actually driving
erstwhile allies of the former into closer relationships with the
latter?
