- Mark Carney says there are many things the US needs from Canada — and a very special kind of boat is one of them
Mark Carney highlighted that icebreakers are one of many things the United States needs from Canada.

These cooperative efforts occur as both nations race to expand their polar fleets in response to changing conditions in the Arctic.
