Trump Warns Carney: Making Me Enemy Will Hurt Canada's Economy
US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying that making him an 'enemy' could hurt Canada's economy and be politically damaging. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that it is good for Canadian politicians to consider him as the enemy until their economy collapses, at which point it will prove bad for politics.
Trump's warning comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Ottawa over trade disputes and disagreements about their economic relationship. The two leaders have been exchanging blows in recent days, with Carney criticizing Trump's approach to the trade dispute and Trump accusing Canada of being 'tough' on the US.
Carney has announced a C$4.7 billion investment to build and maintain VIA Rail passenger cars in Canada, which will be manufactured domestically for the first time in four decades. The move is seen as an attempt to boost Canada's economy and create jobs, but it may also be perceived as a response to Trump's trade policies.
