Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that he stands by his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week where he called out unconstrained super powers, after a US President Donald Trump administration’s official said that he “aggressively” walked back some of his comments during a phone call with the Republican leader.
Confirming that he and Trump spoke over phone, Carney on Tuesday said, “To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos.”
During an interview with Fox News on Monday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had said that Canadian PM Carney was “very aggressively walking back” on some of the remarks to Trump.
The Canadian prime minister made headlines after he called out US President Trump during his Davos speech for a “rupture” in the postwar world order.
Speaking to reporters on Parliament Hill on Tuesday, Carney said, “It was clear. It was a broader set of issues that Canada was the first country to understand the change in US trade policy that he had initiated, and we’re responding to that.”
