Carney Recounts Trump Joke on US-Canada Relations
Former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney recalled a joke made by former US President Donald Trump regarding Canada-US relations. Carney stated that Trump joked, 'Maybe they'll shoot you,' when discussing the relationship between the two countries. This anecdote was shared in the context of Canada's economic strategy, which aims to attract one trillion dollars in investments over five years to foster an independent economy. The strategy also includes a significant increase in defence financing by 2030, intended as a response to current trade challenges with the United States.
