Deepening the Canada-U.S. economic partnership

Americans have spoken, and with President Donald Trump’s decisive re-election, the United States has sent a clear message to its partners and allies: America is prioritizing economic resilience, energy security, and strategic independence. 

Canada, as America’s closest ally, must rise to the occasion – not simply as a partner but as a leader in shaping our shared future. Together, we can forge an economic partnership that is more integrated, secure, and prosperous, where our success lifts the wages and living standards of Americans and Canadians alike. 

This is our moment to act. Canada must not only honour its commitments to defence, but demonstrate its steadfast reliability as a top-tier trade and investment partner, especially in the critical minerals and energy sectors.  

By working hand in hand with our American counterparts, we can enhance energy security, drive economic growth, boost shared prosperity, and establish ourselves as the global standard for innovation and economic cooperation. 

Canada’s business leaders have long championed deeper partnerships between public and private sectors in these essential areas. Now, we amplify that call with renewed urgency. We can, and will, create conditions for a competitive, productive, and resilient continental economy – one that harnesses Canada’s unique strengths and brings lasting prosperity to our citizens.  

This is Canada’s opportunity to lead and build a stronger future.
