Description

After U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of 'aggressively' reversing comments from his World Economic Forum speech in a Monday call with President Donald Trump, Carney offers a virtually opposite account of the conversation. Carney says he told Trump: 'I meant what I said in Davos.' Former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. David MacNaughton responds to the idea that recent U.S. threats are a negotiating tactic for CUSMA, calling the idea of Trump having an overarching strategy 'an oxymoron.' Plus, This Hour Has 22 Minutes star Mark Critch explains how Greenlanders reacted when he visited in character as Trump and asked to buy their country.
