US EditionCarney says he told Trump 'I meant what I said in Davos,' despite U.S. claims
Mark Carney affirmed his Davos speech remarks to Trump amid trade tensions, highlighting Canada’s strategy of 12 new deals to diversify markets, officials said.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Jan. 27, 2026 he told U.S. President Donald Trump he `meant what I said in Davos` and explained Canada's arrangement with China and 12 new trade deals.
- In Davos last week, Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned economic coercion and urged middle powers to act together, amid U.S. President Donald Trump's 100% tariff threat and escalating trade tensions.
- Explaining Canada's China ties, Carney said he told Mr. Trump the government is not pursuing a free-trade pact and confirmed the call covered Ukraine, Venezuela and Arctic security, as well as moving forward with the CUSMA review this year.
- U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Monday he was in the Oval Office and alleged Prime Minister Mark Carney was aggressively walking back parts of his Davos remarks, which Carney disputes, while President Donald Trump threatened a 100% tariff and revoked Canada's invite.
- His Davos message positions middle powers to coordinate against economic coercion, with Carney planning to travel to India, Australia, and aim to double Canada's non-U.S. exports, which are over 75% of Canadian exports.
