In addition, Carney has emphasized Canada\u2019s interest in joining rearmament initiatives underway in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over,\u201d Carney said in a televised victory speech in Ottawa on April 29. \u201cThe system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades, is over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney was able to defeat Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre by positioning himself as the best candidate to stand up to U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has brought in tariffs against Canada and has threatened to ruin the country\u2019s economy. The president has warned that the only way the country could escape such punishment would be to become the 51st American state.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/the-americas\/2025\/03\/27\/canada-tees-up-military-helicopter-investment-worth-almost-13-billion\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-105685077.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Canada tees up military helicopter investment worth almost $13 billion<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Officials said they will start working with industry this summer.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s actions have caused widespread distrust of the U.S. in Canada and prompted the Liberals to outline a defense policy based on forging new military alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Liberal Party\u2019s defense platform, released during the election campaign on April 14, included the creation of a new defense procurement agency. Carney has also promised to modernize defense-procurement rules so purchases of military equipment can be hastened. The Liberal Party platform also promised to buy \u201cCanadian whenever possible and prioritizing Canadian raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and critical minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During an April 15 speech Carney noted that Canada must look to new sources for the purchase of defense equipment. He pointed out that over the years Canada has been overly reliant on the U.S. for defense products, noting that 80% of Canada\u2019s military equipment purchases are from American firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney is a newcomer to politics. He won the Liberal Party leadership on March 9 and five days later was sworn in as Canada\u2019s 24th prime minister. He called an election shortly after and received a new mandate to govern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney has also ordered a review of Canada\u2019s purchase of the Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Canadian government committed in January 2023 to spending $13.2 billion (19 billion Canadian dollars) for the purchase of 88 F-35s from the U.S. Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carney, who linked the review to Trump\u2019s ongoing trade war against Canada, said at this point the country has only committed to purchasing the first 16 F-35s. He noted that he has had discussions with French and British government officials about whether they could provide an alternative to the F-35 and whether that aircraft could be built in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, he pointed out that defense relations were a key part of his earlier talks with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new prime minister has promised to focus more on Canadian-built defense products and shift spending away from the
