Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is leveraging his global finance connections to attract major international investors to Canada as the trade war with the United States continues. Carney has also floated pursuing a 'unique alliance' with the European Union, while explicitly ruling out EU membership, as Canada seeks to diversify its economic and diplomatic relationships beyond Washington. The moves reflect Ottawa's broader strategy to reduce reliance on the U.S. economy amid ongoing tariff disputes, positioning Canada to court both global capital and European partnerships as leverage in the standoff.
