  "summary": "Canada's relationship with the United States has deteriorated under US President Donald Trump. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has considered the possibility of US military action against Canada, examining the \"extreme tail risk\" scenario and preparing accordingly. Tensions between the two countries have flared, with Trump frequently referring to Canada as the \"51st state\" and starting a trade war that has deepened with tit-for-tat tariffs.\n\nThe Canadian government has taken steps to boost defence spending, given its strategic position with the longest coastline in the world and proximity to the Arctic. MyJoyOnline Ghana reported that the US military has over 2 million active-duty and reserve troops, while Canada has fewer than 200,000. The US also possesses 65 military submarines, compared to Canada's four.\n\nA man, Ousmane Bah, 45, from Quebec City, has been charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to Prime Minister Mark Carney and promoting hatred against an identifiable group, according to CityNews and CBC News.",
