Carney denies retracting Davos remarks after Trump call

Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s claim that he walked back his comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos on 20 Jan 2026. Carney told Bessie that the 30‑minute call on Monday with President Donald Trump was unambiguous, covering Arctic security, Ukraine and Venezuela, and Canada’s trade arrangement with China. He added that Canada had secured 12 deals on four continents in six months and that the CUSMA review would be leveraged for new U.S. ties. No official readout was issued for the conversation, sparking calls for greater transparency.
