The US Embassy in Ottawa has accused Canadian officials of meddling in the upcoming US midterm elections, alleging that Canadian leaders openly discuss plans to influence American politics. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed these claims, stating that the US had initiated trade actions against Canada first. Canadian officials have been meeting with US Democrats and urging retaliatory tariffs against the US, particularly in states that support the current administration.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated that he has "no interest" in interfering in US elections and is focused on Ontario and Canada, emphasizing the need for certainty and stability in the US. Canadian Industry Minister Mélanie Joly and Ford both denied Canadian interference and emphasized their focus on economic interests. The allegations come amid ongoing disputes between Washington and Ottawa over tariffs and trade, which have strained relations between the two North American neighbors.
