Tensions between Trump and Canada aren’t new. The drama goes back to Trump’s first term.

In 2018, Trump clashed with Trudeau over NAFTA renegotiations, publicly calling him “weak” and “dishonest.”

Trump imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, triggering a mini trade war.

Trudeau famously shot back, “Canadians will not be pushed around,” a rare public flex.

Since then, Trump and Canadian leaders have maintained a frosty, combative dynamic.

Carney nodded to those past tensions with his recent speech.

Trump has made no secret of his bizarre dream: absorbing Canada into the U.S.

He even nicknamed Trudeau the “Governor of Canada” as part of his taunting campaign.

Trump claimed America subsidizes Canada to the tune of $200 billion annually.

He backhandedly added that Canada could be “America’s greatest state”—if it joined the union.

Just moments after being elected, Mark Carney had one name on his mind—and it wasn’t Justin Trudeau.

The 60-year-old Liberal Party leader took direct aim at Donald Trump’s ambitions, and he did not hold back.

Carney stepped into power after Trudeau bowed out last month, ending nearly a decade-long run as PM.

In his first national address, delivered in Ottawa’s chilly dawn, Carney went straight for the jugular.

Carney warned Canadians: “As I’ve been saying for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water—our country.”

“These are not idle threats,” Carney added. “President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us.”

His voice firm, Carney repeated: “That will never, ever happen.”

“But we must also recognize,” he said, “that our world has fundamentally changed.”

Carney’s path forward confirmed.

“But we should never forget the lessons,” he said. “We have to look out for ourselves.”

He promised Canadians, “We have many, many other options than the United States.”

Carney said his talks with Trump would be “between two sovereign nations.”

He urged Canadians to band together: “United, we are buying Canadian.”

“We are supporting our friends and neighbors in the crosshairs of President Trump,” he added.

“United we will win this trade war,” Carney proclaimed. “And build the strongest economy in the G7.”

The G7 includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and the U.S.—a club of elite economies.

He vowed to craft “an economy that works for everyone”—a not-so-subtle dig at Trump’s inequality record.

“President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us,” Carney said again. “That will never happen.”

Within minutes of the speech, #CarneyClapback and #TrumpVsCanada began trending globally.

Analysts say this could mark a major realignment of U.S.-Canada relations.

The stage is set. Canada’s new PM has entered the ring swinging—and Trump may be forced to swing back.
