Canada PM Carney Says U.S. Trade Shift Has Turned Canadian Advantages into Disadvantages

GateNews

Gate News message, April 19 — Canadian Prime Minister Carney delivered a video address on April 19 assessing Canada-U.S. relations, stating that many “advantages” Canada previously built on its close ties with the United States have transformed into “disadvantages” that must be corrected. He called for diversifying foreign trade to address current challenges.

In the video titled “Forward Guidance,” Carney said the United States has “fundamentally changed its approach to trade,” raising tariffs to levels unseen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Current U.S. tariffs on Canadian automobiles, steel, and lumber have already caused negative impacts. Carney emphasized that Canada cannot control disruptions from the United States and cannot rely on America suddenly ceasing these actions, stating “hope is not a plan, and nostalgia is not a strategy.”

DOJ drops criminal investigation into Fed Chair Powell: the Warsh appointment track is fully unblocked, and U.S. Treasury yields immediately fall

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that it is withdrawing the criminal investigation into Fed Chair Powell, handing the matter over to the Fed’s Inspector General for follow-up, and temporarily removing the Senate’s obstacle to Warsh’s appointment. The market reacted immediately: U.S. Treasury yields fell and the stock market rose; Democrats questioned the timing. Pirro said this is a phased arrangement, and that if evidence is needed, the investigation could be restarted. Powell’s term runs until 2026, and whether he remains in office will affect subsequent nominations, underscoring the gray area of Fed independence under political pressure.
