According to a report by Agence France-Presse on April 29, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who won the federal House of Commons election, is about to face what he himself called a "daunting" major challenge on the 29th, with the main focus being U.S. President Donald Trump and economic issues. Justin Trudeau's former advisor in Canada, Marcy Sacks, warned: "His honeymoon period will be very short." Carney took office at a time when Canada was陷入 a complex situation, with the country thrown into chaos due to strong attacks from the U.S. president. Despite Carney's repeated assurances that his experience has prepared him for this, the coming months will still be full of difficulties, especially since his Liberal Party narrowly failed to win an absolute majority in parliament. Late at night on the 28th, the leader of the Liberal Party addressed supporters, saying: "Now is the time for bold actions." Carney stated: "The challenges we face are daunting, which is normal. But I am confident." Firstly, Carney needs to find ways to deal with attacks from the U.S. president. On the 28th, during the (Canadian election) voting period, Trump hinted that he should lead Canada and reiterated his desire to annex the country. Moreover, Carney also needs to quickly implement plans to adjust the direction of Canada's economy. Carney mentioned in the early stages of his campaign that due to "President Trump trying to fundamentally reshape the U.S. economy," Canada would have to "reshape" its own economy. Carney's ambition includes eliminating tariff barriers between Canadian provinces and strengthening ties with Europe to reduce Canada's reliance on the United States. However, Marcy Sacks pointed out that opening new trade channels "requires significant investment" and will take years. In another report by EFE on April 29, Canadian Liberal Party leader Mark Carney promised not to give in to U.S. President Donald Trump, but future tasks look extremely difficult. Trump threatened to annex Canada and imposed new tariffs on Canadian products, which truly affected key sectors of the Canadian economy. The bilateral relationship between these two neighboring countries with the longest land border is currently at its lowest point. In Ottawa, people anxiously await the arrival of Pete Hoekstra, the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Canada by Trump. On the day he was confirmed, Hoekstra announced in writing that Canada is "America's most valuable trading partner" and promised to "work with the Canadian government to review and strengthen our strong trade partnership, ensure border security, respond to the lethal threat of fentanyl, and build cooperation for national security." However, it is unclear whether Trump will order him to change his tone. In his first appearance after winning the election, Carney reminded Canadians not to rely solely on their only land neighbor and declared that Canada has "many choices" outside the U.S. Diplomats in Ottawa believe that these so-called "many choices" first include the EU, as Canada shares a similar social model with the EU, making it more similar to European countries than the U.S. Moreover, in 2017, the Canada-EU Free Trade Agreement was passed by the European Parliament, granting Canadian goods privileged access to the EU. However, Canadian political scientist Donald Keel believes that dismantling the intricate economic and cultural ties between the U.S. and Canada is no easy task. Efforts to seek new partners to reduce dependence on the U.S. have yet to be included in discussions with other governments.
