Opinion | What it will cost Canada to win back U.S. friendship To mend ties with the U.S., Prime Minister Carney must put Canada on a path to meet NATO commitments.

Trump may think that the United States doesnโ€™t โ€œneed anythingโ€ from Canada, but the U.S. in fact relies on Canada for a variety of products, writes Greg Pollock and @ibayoumi.bsky.social write. wapo.st/4jA9ttu

Opinion | Canada's prime minister nailed his meeting with Trump. Now comes the hard part. At the Oval Office meeting on Tuesday, some of Prime Minister Mark Carneyโ€™s more intangible qualities were on display.

Pleased to have been asked by @msnbc.com to share some thoughts on the Trump - Carney meeting and the future of bilateral relations between the two countries: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Foreign policy was a hot topic in Canadaโ€™s election. Now itโ€™s on Carney to make it last. The campaign is over. Now, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney faces several important choices, from how to increase defense spending to what a new relationship with the United States should look like...

Maite G. Latorre and I discuss how foreign policy featured prominently in the campaigns of both Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre and how #Carney can now match words to actions as Prime Minister: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carneyโ€™s Liberal Party secured the most seats in Canadaโ€™s parliament in elections on April 28.

What are the implications for trade, security, and diplomacy in North America and beyond?

Atlantic Council experts break it all down:

Will Security Challenges Force Trump to Confront Climate Reality? Climate security is adjusting to a denialist U.S. administration.

Climate change is a core strategic challenge for the United States. Pretending otherwise would be national security malpractice. My new piece with Greg Pollock on how the climate security community needs to evolve to stay relevant. foreignpolicy.com/2025/04/23/c...

Smart, sober response from Canadaโ€™s Prime Minister to the destruction my government is wreaking. The US won the geo-political lottery having Canada and Mexico as neighbors, and the Trump Administration is destroying our advantages.

Interesting & important deliverable on Carneyโ€™s first trip.

France & Canada certainly share intel & had important exchanges. This sounds like something a bit more formal.

Enhanced cooperation with Franceโ€™s cyber agency, ANSSI, especially after USโ€ฆ issues, will be beneficial.

The destruction of DODโ€™s Office Net Assessment will be celebrated in Beijing & Moscow.

This little-known but enormously consequential 50 year-old institution actually thought long-term.

It helped us win the Cold War, grasped the China challenge early, and figured out revolutions in warfare.
