Video Description

King Charles III delivered Canada’s speech from the throne on Tuesday, underscoring Canada’s sovereignty amid tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump. Read to lawmakers and dignitaries from the Senate chambers, the nearly 30-minute speech essentially highlighted Prime Minister Mark Carney’s goals for the next parliamentary session. Typically read by the Governor General, Charles is the first monarch to deliver a throne speech in Canada since his mother Queen Elizabeth II last did so in 1977. The speech comes amid frosty relations between Canada and the U.S. over Trump’s tariffs and annexation threats.
