US embassy says Canada brushing off election interference concerns
The US Embassy in Ottawa said Prime Minister Mark Carney's government was dismissing concerns about potential interference in the US midterm elections. Carney rejected the claim and noted that the US had started trade actions against Canada; at least 13 Canadians are among dozens of non-citizens charged with illegally voting in US federal elections.
Why it matters
The dispute adds strain to relations between two of each other's largest trading partners.
Background
Canada and the US have been in a trade dispute since the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canadian goods. US midterm elections take place on November 3.
