USA,21,JAN,2026,(India Today News CA):- President Donald Trump made this statement during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 21, 2026. He directly addressed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying, “Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”​
Context
Trump’s remarks responded to Carney’s speech the previous day, where Carney described a “rupture” in the U.S.-led global order and urged middle powers to unite against aggressive superpowers. Trump accused Canada of ingratitude, claiming it receives “freebies” like military protection from the U.S.​
Broader Implications
The comments fit into ongoing U.S.-Canada tensions, including Trump’s past suggestions of annexing Canada as the 51st state and recent tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber. Carney, formerly a central banker, has pushed to diversify Canada’s trade away from the U.S., including toward China.
