Canada’s new prime minister issues scathing warning to Donald Trump
Tensions between the U.S. and Canada are escalating, and newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney isn’t holding back. In a powerful victory speech, Carney directly criticized President Donald Trump, accusing him of trying to “break” Canada and take its land, resources, and sovereignty.
Carney, a former banker with no prior political experience, led the Liberal Party to a surprise comeback in the 2025 election, taking over after Justin Trudeau’s resignation. In his first address, Carney warned that Canada must prepare for global uncertainty and resist U.S. pressure.
His remarks followed Trump’s controversial statements, including calling Trudeau the “Governor of Canada,” suggesting Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, and claiming the U.S. spends $200 billion annually to support its neighbor. These comments, alongside trade tensions, have sparked outrage and a patriotic response across Canada, with millions voting early and many boycotting American products.
Carney emphasized unity and self-reliance, vowing to stand firm in any future talks with Trump. “We are over the shock of the American betrayal,” he said. “But we will never forget the lessons.”
