Canada PM Denies Retracting Davos Remarks
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has rejected claims that he walked back comments made at the World Economic Forum in Davos during a recent conversation with US President Donald Trump. Carney said he made it clear that he stood by his remarks and did not retract any part of his speech.
What Was Said at Davos
At the Davos forum earlier this month, Carney spoke about shifts in the global economic and political order and the need for countries to adapt to changing trade and security dynamics. His remarks were widely seen as a pointed reference to recent US trade policies and global realignments.
Call With Trump
Following the Davos speech, suggestions emerged that Carney had softened his position during a phone call with Trump. Responding to these claims, Carney said his views were conveyed consistently and that there was no reversal of position during the discussion.
Canada-US Relations
The episode comes amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States. While reaffirming Canada’s commitment to dialogue with Washington, Carney said Ottawa would continue to pursue policies that protect its economic interests and diversify trade partnerships.
