Dealing with Mr. Trump will be one of the most important issues \u2014 if not the most important \u2014 on the ballot, and Mr. Carney\u2019s emerging strategy tells us a lot about what he would do if elected.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Austen will be back next week with our Canada Letter as we dive into the election period in earnest.<\/p>\n<p><em>[Read: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/canada\/canada-trump-carney-europe.html\" title><em>\u2018Most European Non-European Country\u2019: Canada Turns to Allies as Trump Threatens<\/em><\/a><em>]<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"link-4d1d892c\">R-E-S-P-E-C-T<\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Carney has placed respect at the heart of how he talks about President Trump \u2014 suggesting he will not engage if Mr. Trump carries on calling him \u201cgovernor\u201d like he did with Justin Trudeau.<\/p>\n<p>Upon accepting his party\u2019s leadership on March 9, Mr. Carney said he wouldn\u2019t remove Canada\u2019s retaliatory tariffs unless the United States showed his country respect.<\/p>\n<p>On his flash Europe tour this week, he honed that message.<\/p>\n<p>In London, at a news conference at the Canada High Commission, he told us of the U.S. leadership, \u201cThey\u2019re disrespectful, they\u2019re not helpful and they need to stop before \u2014 they will have to stop before \u2014 we sit down and have a conversation about our broader partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<h2 id=\"link-651c8c7\">No rush<\/h2>\n<p>It also seems Mr. Carney is in no hurry to have these conversations with Mr. Trump, and believes that Canada\u2019s approach should be slow, careful and measured, rather than a rush into pleading for easing the tariffs or seeking a deal under duress.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s telling that \u2014 at the time of this writing on Friday evening \u2014 he\u2019s not yet held a call with Mr. Trump since being sworn in as prime minister last week.<\/p>\n<p>In our Iqaluit stop, I asked Mr. Carney if he was changing his strategy toward Mr. Trump. Here\u2019s what he said: \u201cI\u2019m less interested in reacting to every initiative put on the table. We want to have that broader conversation. It won\u2019t happen overnight. There\u2019s no magic one meeting that is going to unlock things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe big issues around trade are going to need to be taken more comprehensively, and they will be taken, from a Canadian perspective, from a position of strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<h2 id=\"link-5e1fa425\">Dollar for dollar<\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Carney also mentioned, for the first time, that the dollar-for-dollar retaliatory approach to the U.S. tariffs \u201chas limits,\u201d indicating that while he would stick with the measures put in place by Mr. Trudeau, he may be less willing to escalate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"ImageBlock-9\">\n<figure aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\">\n<div data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-figure\">\n<p><span>Image<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\"><span>Mr. Carney joined with President Emmanuel Macron of France to discuss his country\u2019s participation in the European Union\u2019s new military industrial initiative.<\/span><span><span>Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Carlos Osorio\/Reuters<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<h2 id=\"link-5b190f5d\">New friends<\/h2>\n<p>Mr. Carney\u2019s whirlwind tour was an effort to highlight that he\u2019s comfortable on the global stage, and is known and liked by foreign leaders. But he also took steps this week that suggest he puts teaming up with non-U.S. powers at the heart of his U.S. policy.<\/p>\n<p>First came the announcement, made in Iqaluit on Tuesday, that he had finalized the selection of Australia as a partner to develop an over-the-surface radar for the Arctic.

The motive behind this effort is U.S. allies\u2019 desire to pull away from their reliance on American military equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Carney discussed this in detail with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, on the phone on Sunday, and with President Emmanuel Macron of France in person on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<p><em>[Read: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/19\/world\/canada\/canada-eu-military-industry-trump.html\" title><em>Menaced by Trump, Canada Prepares to Join E.U.
