Carney visits New York to present Canada's economic strategy to investors

New York —
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit New York City on May 27 and 28 to hold a series of meetings with investors, CEOs, business leaders, and fund managers.

Carney is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Economic Club of New York, during which he will outline the new economic strategy for Canada and what his government says it has achieved so far on this path.

The Canadian government aims to stimulate new investments worth one trillion Canadian dollars, approximately 724 billion US dollars, within Canada over five years.

The visit comes at a sensitive stage in Canadian-American relations, following sharp tensions with the administration of US President Donald Trump, including high tariffs and repeated statements about annexing Canada as a US state.

Carney repeatedly rejected these statements, affirming during his meeting with Trump in the Oval Office that “Canada is not for sale.”

Through the visit, Ottawa seeks to reassure investors about the strength of the Canadian economy and highlight investment opportunities in energy, infrastructure, advanced industries, and technology, at a time when the government is trying to reduce excessive economic dependence on the United States.
