  • A recent diplomatic tour helped set the stage for his Davos agenda as Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Beijing and Doha, Qatar last week to expand Canada's trade beyond the U.S.
  • Carney's background as a former central banker and U.N. envoy gives him familiarity with financial leaders and subject-matter expertise at the World Economic Forum, which gathers influential policy-makers and capital representatives.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the forum on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. Ottawa time, and Carney may leave Switzerland that day before Trump's speech amid Conservative Party boycott pledges.
