Reuters reported that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has traveled to Turkey with the aim of expanding economic relations and reducing his country’s trade dependence on the United States, and is scheduled to meet with the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Based on this report, the two sides are expected to sign a declaration to strengthen cooperation in various sectors, including defense and energy.
The trip comes as Canada tries to find new markets for its exports in the wake of increased trade tariffs from the United States.
However, nearly 70 percent of Canada’s exports still go to the United States, reflecting the country’s significant economic dependence on the American market.
