Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he told US President Donald Trump that he meant what he said in his speech at Davos, and told him Canada plans to diversify away from America with a dozen new trade deals.
Carney rolled his eyes and rejected US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s contention to Fox News that he aggressively walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum during a phone call with trump on monday.
“To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos,” Carney said to reporters as he arrived for a Cabinet meeting in the capital, Ottawa.
“Canada was the first country to understand the change in US trade policy that he initiated, and we’re responding to that. ”
In Davos at the World Economic Forum last week, Carney condemned economic coercion by great powers on smaller countries without mentioning Trump’s name.The prime minister received widespread praise and attention for his remarks, upstaging Trump at the gathering.

Donald Trump is making a renewed push for the Republican presidential nomination, despite facing multiple legal challenges. the former president continues to dominate early polling and fundraising efforts, signaling his enduring influence within the party.
trump formally announced his candidacy in November 2022, framing his bid as a continuation of the “Make America Great Again” agenda. He’s focused heavily on issues like border security, trade, and challenging what he calls the “deep state.”
Several other Republicans have entered the race, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. However, Trump maintains a significant lead in most national polls.
The legal landscape surrounding Trump remains complex. he faces investigations related to his business dealings,his conduct during the 2020 election,and the handling of classified documents after leaving office. These investigations could present significant hurdles to his campaign.
The first Republican primary debates are scheduled for later this year. Trump’s participation remains uncertain,but his presence would undoubtedly shape the debate dynamics. The Republican National Committee is working to establish debate rules and criteria.
the 2024 election is expected to be highly competitive, with the economy and social issues likely to be central themes. Trump’s campaign is betting that his populist message will resonate with a broad range of voters.
