Davos, Trump and Canada
Digest more
Renewed verbal attacks from U.S. President Donald Trump are prompting Canadians to rally behind Prime Minister Mark Carney, who earned a rare standing ovation in Davos for openly decrying powerful nations using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage.
U.S. President Donald Trump is hosting presidents, prime ministers and top diplomats from more than a dozen countries to tout his international 'Board of Peace.' Prime Minister Mark Carney said last week Canada agreed 'in principle' but details are in flux.
Trump claims the U.S. should control Greenland for Golden Dome missile defense, says Canada "lives because of the United States" in heated Davos remarks.
Carney evoked the landmark 1978 essay “The Power of the Powerless“ by former Czech freedom fighter Václav Havel, who eventually led the Velvet Revolution that led to free elections in his country in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall toppled the Soviet Union. Havel later received a hero’s welcome in Canada in 1999.
