Political pressure? They're appointed for life, literally what consequences are there to pushing back? Honestly the senate is such a waste of money. They're trying to play both sides of this issue to the benefit of no one.

Carney: "Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon." in c/[email protected]

To me, this statement sounds like not condoning America's actions but still walking the line as to not sabotage trade talks. This has been Carney's MO with Trump from the start, appease just enough without bending the knee to get a deal done.
