Tensions with Trump: Canada fears possible US military intervention

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in an interview with The New York Times that his government has also considered the extreme scenario of a US military intervention in Canada, although such an invasion is not considered the base case.

"It is the responsibility of those in these positions to consider even extreme risks," Carney said, describing it as part of normal risk management. He added that it would be irresponsible not to prepare plans for such a scenario at a time when US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called for Canada to become the 51st state of the US.

In the interview in question, Carney also spoke about Canada's efforts to diversify economic and strategic ties, reducing dependence on the United States.

One example is Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service. Carney said Canada will seek to reduce its reliance on the service, stating that the country "will diversify away from Starlink, without question."

However, the prime minister acknowledged that decoupling from the US economy has its limits. He said it would not make sense to break up the integrated auto industry between the two countries. Carney also warned against ideas of using Canadian energy and food exports as a tool to pressure the US.

Another issue raised by Carney was the international financial system. According to him, the Trump administration's policies and the use of trade as a tool of pressure could prompt various countries to seek alternatives to the US dollar.

Carney argued that a global financial system with several reserve currencies, rather than a system dominated by the dollar, could offer more flexibility.

“Once you see this, you start thinking: how can I diversify?” he said, referring to the need to avoid over-reliance on a single partner.

Despite the trade spat between the two countries, Carney said he continues to communicate frequently with Donald Trump. According to him, the two leaders have spoken several times since the serious failure of trade negotiations in August and the imposition of new tariffs by both sides.

Carney's interview reflects Canada's effort to maintain economic relations with the U.S. while preparing for a scenario where its dependence on its southern neighbor could pose greater economic and strategic risks.
