Former US President Biden said in a post today (April 29) that, "I congratulate Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their victory in the Canadian general election. I believe that Mark will be a strong leader for the common basic values and interests of the people of Canada and the United States."
After Trump came to power, he mentioned many times that he wanted to turn Canada into the "51st state" of the United States and wielded the tariff cudgel against Canada, which severely impacted the traditional relations between the US and Canada, putting the relationship between the two countries in a state of tension and uncertainty. Before taking office, Carney had repeatedly criticized the Trump administration, accusing it of disrupting global markets and reshaping the international trade system. He described Trump's impact on Canada as "the biggest crisis of our generation," vowing to maintain tariff measures against the United States until the US shows respect for Canada.
Biden's diplomatic style is very different from Trump's. By congratulating Carney on his victory in the Canadian general election and expressing confidence in the common values and interests of the two countries, it reflects the complex and subtle current state of US-Canada relations.
