Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday said Canada would boost its military and security presence in the Arctic, a frozen and mineral-rich expanse that is of increasing interest to U.S. President Donald Trump.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday that Ottawa will expand the Canadian Armed Forces’ presence in the Arctic and turn to Australia's over-the-horizon radar tech to monitor threats from adversaries such as China and Russia.

Mark Carney is a newcomer to elected politics, with decades of experience in finance. After his landslide victory, he pledged to continue tariffs on the U.S. "until the Americans show us respect."

Carney, a former Goldman Sachs executive with no experience in politics, becomes Canada's 24th prime minister.

Canada is ready to talk with the U.S. about the two countries’ economic and security ties but not until the Trump administration ceases referring to its northern neighbor as the 51st state, Prime Minister Mark Carney said.

Mark Carney has warned Donald Trump that the pair will not speak until his disrespectful comments about Canada stop.
