Canadian Prime Minister Carney said that over the past year he has been preparing for the “extreme tail risk” that US President Trump may order military action against Canada. On the 23rd local time, Carney was interviewed at the “New York Times” headquarters and explained in detail how to systematically reduce Canada's dependence on key US technology to reduce Canada's risk of being threatened by the US. When asked if he was serious about Trump's threat to turn Canada into the 51st US state, Carney said he had carefully studied the possibility of a US-led military operation, but declined to discuss in detail what was involved. “I believe that if you are in a key position, you have a responsibility to pay attention to extreme tail risks.” Former Bank of England and Canada Governor Carney said that when dealing with world affairs, he always carefully assesses the worst situations and formulates countermeasures. “This is just risk management. It's not basic, but it's irresponsible if you're not prepared.” However, Carney said that he often talks with Trump and that they have talked “many times” since the US-Canada trade negotiations broke down last month. Carney believes there is still a way to restart trade negotiations with the US.
