Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The US Embassy in Ottawa has accused Canadian leaders of attempting to influence American politics ahead of the November midterm elections, escalating tensions between the two neighbours amid an ongoing trade dispute under President Donald Trump’s administration.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Joly pushed back against Hoekstra's previous comments, telling reporters last week that Canada would never engage in election interference and would "never accept that also being done to us in Canada."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who is also quoted in the U.S. embassy document, said he has no interest in interfering in American elections.
Asked on Wednesday about the allegations, Carney noted that it was the US that first initiated trade actions against Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ford rejected the allegations, arguing that Ottawa's actions were a response to Washington's trade measures rather than an attempt to interfere in US elections.
