Carney CAN'T STOP His LAUGH at Reporter's Question on Trump

Let's say you get this deal, COSMA 2, with the president of the United States.You're going to have to convince a lot of Canadians skeptical of the trustworthiness of the president that, no, no, this time he means it.He'll keep his word this time on COSMA 2.How will you explain that the president can be trusted when he signs a document with your name on it?

Thank you.Donald Trump thought slapping Canada with yet another illegal 50 % tariff threat would make him look tough.Instead, it triggered one of the most powerful displays of Canadian unity in years.In today's high -stakes joint press conference following the First Minister's meeting, Prime Minister Mark Carney stood firm with premiers across the country and delivered a masterclass in calm, calculated leadership.While Trump tries to bully and divide, Carney made it unmistakably clear, Canada is united, prepared and ready to play hardball.The most telling moment?

When reporters pressed Carney on whether Canadians can actually trust Donald Trump to honor any new agreement, his reaction speaks volumes.This isn't just another trade dispute.This is Canada drawing a hard line against economic intimidation.Let's dive into the most explosive moments that show exactly why Trump's latest tantrum may have backfired spectacularly.

All these governments would do whatever it takes to defend and support our families, our business, etc.And I'd like to hear some, after three hours of meeting, some specifics.Counter -terrorists are a possibility, and so on, if you could provide some specifics.And then two, let's say you get this deal, COSMA 2, with the President of the United States, you're going to have to convince a lot of Canadians skeptical of the trustworthiness of the President that no, no, this time he means it.He'll keep his word, this time, on COSMA 2.How will you explain that the President can be trusted when he signs a document with your name on it?

Thank you.Well, first, in terms of doing whatever it takes, there's multiple aspects of that.First, and I won't repeat the whole element of, but it's building the economy and support.Like, that's fundamental.It's diversifying our trade relations, it's all that.Secondly, it is helping those sectors that are affected directly by the tariffs with financial support, supporting their workers, reorienting, demand for some of their products where that's possible, providing some level of trade protection, if necessary, remissions, other aspects.

So there's a variety of things, and we're working through that.We've been doing this and supporting literally tens of thousands of jobs in the trade, in the 232 sectors, the strategic sectors, steel, aluminum, automobiles, and others, and we'll continue to do that with other sectors that are affected.The third is is responding if there is if these tariffs or other measures come into force and And there's a full range of things that we can do in that regard.We don't need to respond in advance.In fact, I think it would be counterproductive at this stage to respond in advance.But it's important to know what your options are, to have worked it through, to have shared as it affects certain provinces, or they have perspectives directly, and be united in that response.

And I would say, and perhaps I would add, Premiers obviously speak for themselves.We are united in direction and objective and purpose and seriousness about the response.We are going to support Canadian families, workers, businesses, full stop.

Watch Carney's expression carefully when asked about trusting Trump on any new deal.His measured skepticism, that famous from Missouri with wide eyes line, revealed deep realism about dealing with an unpredictable partner.This moment was gold because it humanizes Carney while exposing Trump's credibility problem.After years of broken promises and tariff whiplash, blind trust is off the table.Carney is negotiating from strength, not desperation, a clear signal that any agreement must include ironclad enforcement mechanisms, not just signatures.

Now, how to the second part of your question.First, I have to be convinced, we have to be convinced, the team has to be convinced, the premiers have to be convinced that an agreement is worth the paper it's written on.And I think at the core of that is that the agreement recognizes the benefits, the very, very many benefits that trade with Canada brings.not just to Canadians, but to Americans.I mean, it's their self -interest.But it has to recognize, it has to be aligned, it has to have provisions that reinforce, of course, but we will know when we see it.

And I would say, you know, we go in from Missouri, to use an American expression.on this.And with wide eyes, lots of options, rolling up our sleeves, doing the work, but we're working on behalf of Canadians.and we'll know it when we see it.

Carney didn't dodge the pressure of Trump's 30 -day deadline.He acknowledged it's both a negotiating window and a classic Trump pressure tactic, but he refused to let it dictate Canada's strategy.By emphasizing unity among first ministers and premiers, Carney is sending a strategic message.Trump's divide -and -conquer approach won't work here.A coordinated Team Canada front significantly strengthens Canada's negotiating position and signals to markets and investors that Canada is stable and resolute, not panicked.

This is a question for the Prime Minister.Prime Minister, I'm wondering how you see this window of time of trade talks given the new 30 -day deadline.Do you think that this is a meaningful opportunity to approach some sort of endgame with the United States, or is it just another pressure tactic from the Trump administration?

It's both.I mean, that's the direct answer.We've seen a series of trade negotiations that the U .S.has undertaken, and normally there's a deadline, normally there's an outsized tariff associated with that deadline.First observation.

The second thing is that I would say that in our interactions this week with various levels of the U .S.administration, mine with the President, Minister LeBlanc, with his counterpart, Madame Charette, with hers, other officials, that there's a level of engagement and a breadth of engagement that reflects the seriousness of the trade relationship and the breadth of the issues.So it creates an opportunity.Now, and I'm going to hand back to you, Kate, but I'll just say that First Ministers, Premiers, and myself, we'vea series of conversations on this, on what it means, what our priorities are, where we go from here.

And I will say, give you two observations from that.One, we all recognize that the most important thing we can do is to continue to build this economy strong and unite this economy.That is That's job one, immediate benefits for Canadians, and that is what we can control.And the second is to be united with respect to our trades, our strategy, our negotiating strategy, and our objectives.And part of that unity is recognizing that there isn't a series of little trade issues, there are broad trade issues.All of them have to be part of a comprehensive agreement.

Carney closed powerfully shifting focus from Trump's threats to Canada's internal strength, buying Canadian, diversifying globally, and reinforcing national unity as our greatest asset.While Trump played short -term bully tactics, Carney is playing the long game.By investing in domestic resilience and international partnerships, Canada reduces vulnerability to U .S.volatility.This press conference wasn't just offensive, it was a declaration that Canada's destiny remains firmly in Canadian hands.

We are intensifying our negotiations with the United States in pursuit of a comprehensive agreement that addresses all tariff -related sectors, in all circumstances, irrespective of the outcome of those negotiations.Canada will do whatever it takes to build our strength at home and to support Canadian families, workers, our farmers, our businesses.We're ready.We're ready.because we have been focusing on what we can control.And that's building our strength at home, buying Canadian, backing Canadian workers, building Canadians.

That's the resolve of Canadians.That's the foundation on which we're building.

We're a reliable partner in a world that's anything but.

So we're diversifying our partnerships abroad.The First Ministers at this table have been central to that effort.Provincial premiers have led more than 50 trade missions, more than 50 trade missions since we last met in person in January, and over 130 since I became Prime Minister.Our government, the federal government, has signed more than 20 new economic and security partnerships, because Canada has what the world wants, and Canada believes in the benefits of free and fair trade.We're also ready because of what we know in our bones.that our unity is our greatest strength and our destiny is in our hands.

Donald Trump launched another tariff assault expecting Canada to fold.Instead, Mark Carney and the premiers delivered a united, sophisticated, and unapologetic response that exposed the limits of bullying as foreign policy.From whatever it takes to open skepticism about Trump's trustworthiness, this press conference showed a Canada that is no longer willing to absorb endless punishment.Trump wanted submission, he got strategic defiance backed by real leverage and national unity.The message to the world is clear.Canada is ready to protect its sovereignty and economy by any means necessary.
