Carney: Canada recalibrates global role amid U.S. shift and defense pressures
Investing.com——加拿大正在重新定位其外交政策和国防战略，以应对不断变化的地缘政治潮流，尤其强调深化与欧洲的关系并加强其多边承诺。加拿大总理马克·卡尼周二在接受美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）采访时概述了一项愿景，即在唐纳德·特朗普总统领导下的华盛顿日益回归交易性双边政策制定之际，加拿大避免过度依赖美国。
卡尼强调，加拿大与欧盟不断扩大的伙伴关系代表着一项更广泛的努力，旨在在美国领导地位减弱的全球合作中维持这种合作。 “确切地说，我来这里（海牙北约峰会）……12小时前，我还在布鲁塞尔（欧盟-加拿大峰会）……双方同意建立非常全面的伙伴关系，并推动加拿大和欧盟之间建立更加紧密的经济、防务和安全伙伴关系。”他说道。
总理还谈到了加拿大对北约防务目标的承诺，暗示渥太华已准备好达到甚至可能超过GDP 2%的支出基准。“近几个月来，我们在国防领域进行了重大投资。我们现在已经达到了北约2%的目标，[并且]我们致力于加快这一目标的实现。”卡尼指出。他同时也承认，有人呼吁长期将国防开支达到GDP的3.5%甚至5%，这一门槛可能会给联邦预算带来压力。
美加关系发展至今，双方仍在微妙地平衡中，努力应对不同的战略本能。尽管美国的政治言论和关税措施频频出台，卡尼仍坚称：“我们是两个主权国家，正在讨论我们贸易关系和防务伙伴关系的未来，这种关系在过去一直非常牢固。” 他对维持与特朗普总统的关系保持谨慎而乐观的态度，他表示，特朗普总统即使在推行高度个人化和双边的外交政策议程的同时，也欣赏加拿大的主权。
在当前危机中，乌克兰仍然是加拿大外交政策的基石。卡尼驳斥了西方正在抛弃乌克兰的说法，当被问及美国的撤退是否能保证俄罗斯的胜利时，他强调说：“不，简而言之，不。” 他表示，加拿大将继续对乌克兰提供强有力的防务和财政支持，并在最近于阿尔伯塔省卡纳纳斯基斯举行的七国集团峰会上公布了新的制裁和援助。
加拿大作为地缘政治稳定器日益增强的作用，也体现在其对伊朗和以色列之间最新升级局势的反应中。卡尼称，伊朗对美国空袭核设施的温和回应“适度、缓和局势，而且似乎事先就已发出信号”，这提供了一个潜在的外交机会。“伊朗的地位已大幅下降，尤其是在其领空控制以及可能的核发展能力方面，”他补充道。
尽管特朗普总统促成了以色列和伊朗之间的停火协议，但卡尼称这是“伊朗的外交举措”，为该地区更广泛的参与创造了空间。“这为外交提供了一个机会——这是准确的描述，”他说，但他并未预测达成更广泛的地区和平协议的道路。
关于伊朗的核野心，卡尼对其宣称的和平意图表示怀疑，并指出铀浓缩水平和隐藏设施是令人不安的指标。他表示：“伊朗及其盟友的反应暴露了其大部分核计划的欺骗性。”他暗示，加强审查仍将是加拿大多边外交政策议程的一部分。
随着长期盟友适应不断变化的领导风格和优先事项，加拿大正努力通过国防承诺、经济合作和外交接触来加强其国际地位。这些努力能否带来持久的影响力，还是会受到更广泛的地缘政治潮流的影响，仍有待观察。

Carney: Canada recalibrates global role amid U.S. shift and defense pressures
Carney emphasized that Canada’s expanding partnership with the European Union represents a broader effort to sustain global cooperation where U.S. leadership has diminished. "Literally, I’m coming here (NATO summit in The Hague)... 12 hours ago, I was in Brussels (EU-Canada summit)... agreeing a very comprehensive partnership and a process to have an ever closer economic, defense and security partnership between Canada and EU," he said.
The prime minister also addressed Canada’s commitment to NATO defense targets, suggesting Ottawa is prepared to meet and potentially exceed the 2% of GDP spending benchmark. "We’ve made major investments in defense in recent months. We’re now at the NATO 2% [and] we’re committed to accelerating that," Carney noted, while acknowledging calls for reaching 3.5% or even 5% of GDP for defense spending in the long term, a threshold that could strain federal budgets.
The evolving U.S.-Canada relationship remains delicately balanced as both sides navigate diverging strategic instincts. Despite U.S. political rhetoric and tariffs, Carney asserted, "We’re two sovereign nations who are discussing the future of our trade relationships, our Defense Partnership, which has been very strong in the past." He remained cautious yet optimistic about sustaining ties with President Trump, whom he described as appreciating Canada’s sovereignty even while pursuing a highly personal and bilateral foreign policy agenda.
Ukraine continues to be a cornerstone of Canada’s foreign policy in the current crisis. Carney dismissed the notion that the West is abandoning Ukraine, stating emphatically, "No, the short answer, no," when asked if a retreat by the U.S. would guarantee a Russian victory. Canada, he said, will maintain strong defense and financial support for Ukraine, with new sanctions and aid recently unveiled at the G7 summit in
Kananaskis, Alberta.
Canada’s growing role as a geopolitical stabilizer was also evident in its reaction to the latest escalation between Iran and Israel. Carney described Iran’s tempered response to U.S. airstrikes on nuclear facilities as “proportionate, de-escalatory, and appears to have been signaled in advance,” offering a potential diplomatic opening. “Iran’s position has been substantially downgraded, particularly in terms of its airspace control and possibly its nuclear development capabilities,” he added.
While President Trump facilitated a ceasefire accord between Israel and Iran, Carney called it a “diplomatic move by Iran” that has created space for broader engagement in the region. “It presents an opening for diplomacy—that’s the accurate way to describe it,” he said, though he stopped short of predicting a path to a wider regional peace deal.
On Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Carney expressed skepticism over its stated peaceful intentions, citing uranium enrichment levels and hidden facilities as troubling indicators. “The reactions from Iran and its allies have revealed the deceptive nature of much of its nuclear program,” he stated, suggesting heightened scrutiny will remain as part of Canada’s multilateral foreign policy agenda.
As long-standing alliances adjust to changing leadership styles and shifting priorities, Canada is working to reinforce its international role through defense commitments, economic cooperation, and diplomatic engagement. Whether these efforts will lead to lasting influence or be shaped by broader geopolitical tides remains to be seen.
