Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has prepared for the possibility of “extreme tail risk” involving a potential U.S. invasion. In an interview, he said officials in such roles have a responsibility to consider worst-case scenarios.
Both outlets link the comments to current strains in Canada–U.S. relations. The Hill frames the remarks in the context of recent trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa. The Independent emphasizes Carney’s explanation that he is focused on “extreme tail risk.” While the coverage uses different wording and context, both describe the same central point: Carney says he has geared planning toward an extreme, low-probability threat. The outlets do not present new evidence of an imminent invasion, but instead report on what Carney says Canada is considering at the planning level.
