Canada's new leader will announced a multibillion dollar radar purchase from Australia and an expansion of military operations in the Arctic while visiting Canada’s far north in an effort to assert so

IQALUIT, Nunavut — New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived at the edge of the Arctic Circle on Tuesday in an effort to assert sovereignty over the increasingly contested region.

President Trump has threatened economic coercion to make Canada the 51st state and his constant talk of annexation has infuriated Canadians.

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, met virtually with the Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations. The Council is comprised of leaders in business, innovation, and policy who, through their expertise, advise the Prime Minister and Cabinet during this crucial time in the Canada-U.S. relationship.
