April 4, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told The New York Times of the United States that Canada is ready to replace the United States as the world leader, and the country will strive to form a "like-minded alliance" to seek alternatives to the United States.
He said, "If the United States no longer wants to be the world leader, then Canada will become the world leader. The 80-year history of the United States holding aloft the banner of global economic leadership, building alliances based on trust and mutual respect, and advocating the free and open exchange of goods and services has come to an end. While this is a tragedy, it is also a new reality."
Carney added that Canada will respond to Trump's tariffs in a way that causes the least damage to itself and the greatest harm to the United States.
