Carney Slams U.S. Remarks on Canada's Military | Montreal News
Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney has slammed U.S. cabinet members for unprofessional jabs at Canada’s military, calling their remarks unacceptable amid ongoing trade talks. After U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mocked Canada’s navy and Transport Secretary Sean Duffy questioned whether Canada even has a military, Carney warned the U.S. to focus on serious negotiations—not insults. He cited last-minute U.S. demands—threatening Canada’s global trade flexibility, French-language media support, and auto industry viability—as reasons he pulled Canada’s team from talks last month. Still, Carney insists a fair deal is possible if it respects Canadian sovereignty. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is set to meet with Bessent this week to reinforce Canada’s reliability as a global trade partner.
