Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that there is currently “nothing normal” about Canada’s relationship with the United States. He made the remark in Parliament on Tuesday while responding to a question about managing ties with U.S. President Donald Trump. Carney recently said in a speech at Davos that the rules-based international order built under Washington’s leadership over decades is now undergoing a “fracture.”

His Davos remarks received bipartisan praise in Canada. Opposition Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre described the speech as “well-planned and eloquently delivered,” while Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet called it “reassuring and promising.” However, Blanchet later criticized Carney in the new parliamentary session, saying that speeches do not create jobs or protect employment.

Carney said he spoke with President Trump for about 30 minutes on Monday, discussing trade, Arctic security, and the situations in Ukraine and Venezuela. He clarified that he did not retract any part of his Davos speech during the call, adding in French that “the world has changed, Washington has changed, and almost nothing is normal in the United States.”
