New Delhi, May 30 -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a "new partnership" with the United States to "help make America great again," in a speech delivered at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

Amid an ongoing trade war with the U.S., Carney has vowed to double Canadian exports to other markets in the next decade and signed more than 20 economic and security deals in the last year.

After President Donald Trump's threats to annex Canada as the 51st state, Carney described Canada's ties to the U.S. as "weaknesses we must correct" and said the US had fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.
