The musician Neil Young has written an open letter in support of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as he takes on U.S. President Donald Trump in a battle over trade.
Young wrote that he wanted to tell Carney “how much I appreciate and support what you are trying to do for our great country, Canada.” Carney has called a snap election for the end of April after taking over from Justin Trudeau.
“Although I have lived in the United States for most of my life, and recently became a citizen of the USA, I am a Canadian and always will be,” Young wrote.
Trump has also repeatedly said he wants to make Canada the 51st state of the U.S., an idea overwhelmingly rejected by Canadians.
“Canada is facing threats to its very existence, incredibly from people we thought were our friends,” Young wrote.
“They want our resources, they want our land, they want our fisheries, they want our water, they want our Arctic, maybe they want our souls. I know the US president could use a soul.”
