Canada PM Cites Progress with India Amid US Trade Tensions
Imagine Canada's leader, Prime Minister Carney, is feeling a bit pressured because the leader of the US stopped talking about trade with Canada.
So, Prime Minister Carney is saying, 'It's okay, we're going to make new friends and work with other countries instead!'
He mentioned that Canada is doing a good job of this, especially in a busy part of the world called the Asia-Pacific.
He specifically pointed out that Canada is making good progress with India, even though he didn't meet India's leader directly at this meeting.
Other Canadian officials have been talking with Indian officials about working together on things like trade and important resources.
This is Canada's plan to become stronger by not depending so much on just one big friend, the US.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney highlighted 'progress' in relations with India.
Carney's remarks came after US President Donald Trump terminated trade negotiations with Canada.
Canada is actively seeking new international partnerships, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
Efforts are underway to boost cooperation with India in trade, critical minerals, and energy.
This strategic shift aims to reduce Canada's economic reliance on the United States.
