Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he expects US President Donald Trump to “respect Canadian sovereignty” following reports that Alberta separatists met with US officials numerous times.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he had a clarifying call with U.S. President Donald Trump amid a spat over the construction of a bridge between Ontario and Detroit. Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he would not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge to open because he believes Canada has treated the U.

Ten people were dead, including the suspect gunman, and dozens were injured Tuesday in two connected shootings at a high school and a residence in rural British Columbia, Canadian authorities said.

In a strange twist, Trump is now threating to block the opening of a bridge at the northern border that Canada actually already paid for.
