“I meant what I said:” Carney says he did not walk back Davos speech to Trump

From Global News.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he did not walk back the sentiments in his World Economic Forum speech that urged countries to recognize the “rupture” in the global order in a call with U.S. President Donald Trump, after U.S. Secretary Scott Bessent said he did.

“To be absolutely clear, and I said this to the president, I meant what I said in Davos,” Carney told reporters Tuesday in Ottawa when asked about the U.S. media report citing Bessent.

“Canada was the first country to understand the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated. And we’re responding to that,” he said. “He (Trump) understood that, and it was a good conversation.”

Asked about the report as well, Minister of Identity and Culture Marc Miller made a wry comment saying he was "a little more concerned about the prime minister’s preference for pineapple pizza."
