🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canada had been preparing for a possible war with the US for a whole year, the Prime Minister claims

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says that his government has spent the past year preparing for the remote possibility of U.S. military action against Canada following President Trump’s threats to make the country America’s 51st state.

In an interview with NYT, Carney outlined plans to reduce Canada’s dependence on the US which includes:

-moving away from Starlink

-reconsidering its planned purchase of 88 American F-35 fighter jets in favor of alternatives such as Sweden’s Gripen,

-expanding economic ties with China.

Despite the tensions, Carney said he continues to speak frequently with Trump, even after bilateral trade negotiations collapsed in August.
