Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized national unity in responding to U.S. President Donald Trump in an address to the nation on Jan. 22.
Carney made the comments during the Liberal cabinet retreat in Quebec City, a day after returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he urged countries and companies not to comply with unspecified “great powers” that he said are using “coercion” and seeking to use economic integration and tariffs as leverage.
