Carney’s Davos speech rattles US-Canada trade talks

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos speech advocating unity among smaller nations against economic coercion went viral but drew sharp backlash from the Trump administration, threatening the six-year review of the USMCA and ongoing North American trade negotiations. Washington and Ottawa traded barbs as business leaders warned the spat could undermine the pact, with Trump questioning Canada’s gratitude and U.S. officials signaling a harder stance while Canadian leaders pressed to preserve cross-border supply chains and keep talks alive.
