Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. President Donald Trump has done Canada a “favour” by forcing Ottawa to become more focused on growing the country’s economy and seeking ways to become more self-sufficient.
Carney made the comments while addressing the Council on Foreign Relations think tank before attending the U.N. General Assembly in New York City on Sept. 22. He said his government is helping advance major projects through new legislation, reduce interprovincial trade barriers, build more homes, increase defence spending, and expand trade relationships in Europe, saying these are as examples of positive developments that have occurred amid trade disputes with the United States.
