Trump rebukes Carney after Davos speech, says ‘Canada lives because of the United States’

Trump criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for lack of gratitude despite U.S. military protection and economic support, asserting Canada benefits significantly from the alliance.

  • On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump rebuked Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum in Davos, saying Canada lives because of the United States and accusing Canada of being ungrateful.
  • Carney's 40-minute address argued the post–Cold War rules-based international order has fractured beyond repair, saying recent crises exposed risks of extreme integration and great powers now use economic integration as a weapon.
  • Carney noted specific Canadian initiatives including defence spending increases and new trade agreements, while warning the WTO, the UN, and the COP are greatly diminished.
  • The rebuke arrived amid provocative social-media posts, notably an AI-generated Oval Office photo posted earlier Tuesday and threats to annex Greenland plus a 10 per cent import tax on eight European nations.
  • Observers say these trends risk alliance cohesion because Mark Carney warned the strongest exempt themselves and trade rules enforce asymmetrically, raising fears a Greenland takeover could shatter NATO.
