Canadian Prime Minister Carney has firmly stated that Canada will never, in any way, shape, or form, become part of the United States.
The remarks were made in his first official address as the PM of the country in response to recent discussions about the future of North American relations.
Carney emphasized Canada's independence and sovereignty, reinforcing that the country will continue to maintain its distinct identity on the global stage.
His statement underscores Canada's commitment to its national interests and its position within international diplomacy.
The 59 year old ecomonomist was formally sworn in as Prime Minister on Friday in Ottawa.
At the ceremony held in Rideau Hall, Ottawa, Canada, Carney recited the oath of office in both French and English - the official languages of the country.
Members of Carney’s cabinet some old and some replacing their predecessors from Trudeau’s government were also sworn in at the same ceremony
He vowed to be “a faithful and true servant to his majesty” signalling close ties with the United Kingdom with royal sources saying that King Charles III had written privately to Carney to congratulate him.
Carney’s leadership comes at a crucial time when relations with the United States have sunk to an all time low owing to tit for tat tariff wars.
According to a top diplomat, Carney will visit Europe next week to shore up alliances with its allies on the continent in a bid to secure his country’s trade dependent economy.
The former governor of the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada became the first Canadian Prime Minister with no serious political experience.
