Canadian Prime Minister Rejects U.S. Accusations of Election Interference

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday in Ankara rejected accusations from the United States alleging Canada‘s interference in the country’s democratic processes and elections, stating these claims have no foundation.

Carney emphasized that Canada acts cautiously in its diplomatic relations with the United States and has no intention of intervening in its elections. He added that Global Affairs Canada has cautioned officials to be careful in their communications to avoid providing grounds for baseless accusations.

The Canadian Prime Minister, addressing the political and trade tensions between the two countries, stated, “The President of the United States is under no illusion. My position, Canada’s position, and the position of the Canadian people are entirely clear: we will never become the fifty-first state.”

Carney also announced that Canada is preparing to strengthen its economy and expand international cooperation, adding that a stronger Canada will be a better partner for Washington.

Regarding trade, he said Ottawa remains ready to negotiate with Washington to reach an agreement beneficial to both countries, but will not rush into an agreement solely for political reasons.
