- well the US president did not respond
- directly to today's throne speech but
- did post this online after On Truth
- Social Trump wrote 'Canada very much
- wants to be part of our fabulous Golden
- Dome system It will cost 61 billion US
- equivalent to more than 84 billion
- Canadian if they remain a separate but
- unequal nation adding it will be 0 if
- they become our cherished 51st state.'
- Trump ended with 'They are considering
- the offer.' Mark Carney's office was
- quick to respond writing 'Prime Minister
- has been clear at every opportunity
- including in his conversations with
- President Trump that Canada is an
- independent sovereign nation and it will
- remain one.' In the span of 72 hours the
- most stable alliance in modern history
- just shattered on live television What
- you're about to witness isn't just
- diplomatic theater It's the moment
- Canada stopped being America's polite
- neighbor and became its most formidable
- adversary Prime Minister Mark Carney
- didn't raise his voice He didn't shout
- 1:00
- or get angry Instead he stayed calm and
- clear in front of the world He shared
- ideas that were very different from what
- President Trump believes And many people
- watched closely as someone known for
- always pushing back had to deal with
- someone who didn't seem scared at all
- This wasn't just a regular G7 meeting It
- was more like a small leader facing a
- big one with Canada's Maple Leaf quietly
- taking the stage When it was over
- President Trump stood alone and Prime
- Minister Carney left with something very
- important Many people around the world
- were now listening to him Clips from the
- meeting are spreading fast In them Trump
- moves his hands and speaks with energy
- Carney sits still arms crossed saying
- nothing until the time is right Then
- when he speaks his words are soft but
- strong Some say you can even see Trump's
- mood change while it happens And when
- Carney didn't go in for a final
- handshake people began wondering can
- this long friendship between the two
- 2:01
- countries be fixed What happened in
- Ottawa wasn't just about politics It
- showed how someone could face pressure
- without yelling or getting upset Mark
- Carney may have changed how global talks
- work and it may take a long time for
- Trump to respond in the same way The
- setup for this moment started weeks
- before President Trump even landed in
- Ottawa It looked like normal meeting
- prep but Prime Minister Carney was
- planning something careful While Trump
- was posting strong messages and setting
- new tariffs Carney was quietly bringing
- other countries together He didn't rush
- He waited He made a list of every US
- tariff He looked at how they were
- hurting Canadian jobs and businesses
- Then he built a clear plan It wasn't
- loud It was smart And it left almost no
- room for Trump to push back Carney's
- team also talked to the other G7 leaders
- They didn't beg for help They just
- showed the facts France saw how the US
- tariffs hurt Europe's trade Germany got
- 3:00
- numbers about how their companies were
- paying more Japan learned how all the
- back and forth was shaking up Asian
- markets So when Trump walked into the
- room it wasn't just a group of friends
- waiting to talk It was more like a room
- full of people with the same homework
- And Carney was ready to speak up
- Carney's plan was simple He didn't try
- to be louder or meaner Instead he used
- something Trump wasn't expecting a quiet
- request to explain his ideas in front of
- everyone Carney knew that if Trump had
- to explain everything out loud the
- pieces might not all fit together That's
- how the real test began It started with
- a regular sounding topic trade relations
- and global economic stability It looked
- like a normal line on a meeting agenda
- but really it was the open door Carney
- needed The moment happened on the second
- day of the summit It was during a closed
- door meeting The topic was trade but
- things quickly became tense President
- Trump started speaking He talked with
- energy moved his hands a lot and said
- 4:01
- many things He praised the US economy He
- warned that countries who didn't agree
- might face penalties Some leaders looked
- nervous but Carney just sat there still
- and quiet writing on a yellow notepad
- After Trump spoke for nearly 15 minutes
- he asked for Canada's response That's
- when Carney surprised the room He pulled
- out a paper and began to read He didn't
- sound angry He didn't try to impress
- anyone It felt more like he was sharing
- numbers in a business meeting Mr
- President Carney began calmly You just
- described some trade actions Based on
- our study they cost American shoppers
- $47 billion and led to the loss of
- 127,000 American jobs Would you like to
- see the details The room went quiet
- Trump seemed ready for a fight but
- instead he faced something different
- Clear facts with no emotion What came
- next was one of the most uncomfortable
- talks in G7 history Carney went through
- 5:01
- each of Trump's points He used numbers
- from US government sources to explain
- how some ideas hadn't worked well He
- didn't mock or raise his voice He just
- read what the data said One moment stood
- out Trump had warned about taxes on
- Canadian cars Carney looked up and said
- 'Mr President most of those cars are
- made by American companies They use
- American parts You would be placing a
- tax on your own companies for doing a
- good job.' After that comment Trump
- didn't offer numbers or reports in
- return Instead he spoke with more
- emotion Mark you're being very unfair He
- said 'Canada has taken advantage of us
- for years That's going to stop.'
- Carney's reply got people's attention Mr
- President he said 'Unfairness isn't
- something we can measure in trade If you
- have data that shows a different result
- I'll gladly look at it If you have
- better plans I'm happy to talk But if
- you want me to agree based only on
- 6:00
- feelings we may not mean the same thing
- when we talk about leadership The room
- stayed silent Some leaders looked down
- One even covered his face Others didn't
- say anything but their body language
- showed the moment was serious What made
- Carney's style so powerful wasn't just
- what he said it was how he said it This
- wasn't a private meeting where things
- could be brushed off It was in front of
- all the major world leaders and each of
- them had their own experience dealing
- with Trump's style President Mron of
- France had often tried to keep things
- friendly with Trump using kind words But
- now he saw a different approach firm
- quiet and focused on facts Germany's
- leader Olaf Schultz saw that it was
- possible to challenge Trump directly and
- still stay respectful Carney wasn't
- ruining the US Canada bond He was
- showing that it didn't have to mean
- always saying yes Other leaders noticed
- too For years some had avoided pushing
- back on Trump because they feared things
- 7:00
- might get worse But Carney showed that
- standing firm with facts in hand could
- work better The Japanese group paid
- close attention They had faced similar
- trade pressures from the US but often
- chose to give in watching Canada hold
- steady without being rude offered a new
- way to think about things What really
- stood out to people was how calm Carney
- stayed While Trump raised his voice and
- used strong words Carney didn't change
- at all He kept the same soft voice and
- clear tone He didn't smirk He didn't
- seem pleased when Trump got upset He
- just stayed focused like someone giving
- a report This made the scene look even
- more one-sided Trump known for acting
- tough now seemed loud and unsure Carney
- often seen as quiet looked steady and in
- control Some said it felt like an
- accountant quietly showing a math error
- to a boss No yelling just facts Car's
- work wasn't just good speaking It was
- backed by deep research His team had
- 8:00
- used US government numbers Trump's own
- numbers to show what had really happened
- This left Trump in a tricky spot Arguing
- with the facts meant arguing with his
- own reports Carney gave examples that
- made people think He said US steel
- tariffs had cost manufacturers $4.2
- billion but only added $8,700 jobs in
- that industry That's almost half a
- million dollars per job He also said
- farmers lost $27 billion in exports and
- needed help from the government just to
- stay afloat But the part that hit
- hardest was about a quote from Trump
- himself Trump had once said 'Trade wars
- are easy to win.' Carney quietly said
- 'Mr President if this is what winning
- looks like I'm curious what losing would
- mean.'Trump answered by saying other
- countries pay the tariffs but economists
- have explained that it's usually the
- buyers in the US who pay them Carney
- didn't argue or raise his voice He just
- read a report from the US Treasury It
- 9:00
- said all the money from tariffs came
- from American companies and shoppers
- Things got even more tense when Trump
- again talked about taxing Canadian cars
- Carney was ready He brought out another
- report It showed that 125,000 American
- jobs were tied to Canadian auto plants
- These plants used US parts and made cars
- efficiently Carney said 'Mr President
- you're talking about placing extra costs
- on General Motors Ford and Chrysler for
- being smart and costeffective These are
- not foreign companies hurting the US
- They are American companies using
- Canadian help to make things better for
- American families.' The numbers were
- clear Trump didn't try to argue with
- them Instead he went back to using words
- like fairness and respect But Carney had
- more examples He showed how some US
- industries already had trade advantages
- Trump had left those parts out What made
- Carney's strategy work was that he knew
- how Trump handled pressure Trump often
- pushed back hard and turned arguments
- 10:00
- emotional but Carney didn't let that
- happen He stayed calm and never got
- personal That left Trump with no easy
- way to take control of the room Trump
- became visibly annoyed He tried to get
- Carney to react He used sharp words and
- hand gestures but Carney didn't change
- He stayed steady which made Trump's
- outbursts feel less serious The moment
- that many people remember most came when
- Trump said Canada had taken advantage of
- the US Carney replied calmly 'Mr
- President I'm not sure what you mean by
- generosity Our research shows that when
- we include services the US actually
- makes more money from Canada than we
- make from the US Last year American
- companies earned $47 billion more from
- Canada If that's what taking advantage
- looks like maybe we're both lucky Trump
- didn't offer facts in return He started
- talking about feelings wanting more
- respect and appreciation It showed that
- the argument wasn't really about trade
- numbers anymore It had become personal
- Carney didn't react He didn't comfort
- 11:01
- Trump and he didn't argue he just moved
- on That may have been the hardest part
- for Trump being ignored when he wanted
- attention The pressure increased because
- of the audience Trump was used to
- one-on-one meetings where he could steer
- the conversation But here with all the
- other leaders watching his usual tactics
- didn't work the same way By the end
- Trump seemed different His voice wasn't
- as strong He looked around the room
- hoping for support but most leaders just
- stayed quiet Soon after news began to
- spread Diplomats from many countries
- shared what they had seen The message
- was clear Canada had shown a new way to
- deal with tough talks Leaders from
- Europe were especially interested For
- years they had tried to work with the US
- while also protecting their own needs
- Carney's example gave them a new idea
- Stay polite but don't be afraid to speak
- with facts Don't make it personal Just
- be clear The French team paid close
- attention President McCron had often
- tried to get along with Trump by being
- 12:00
- friendly and saying nice things But
- Carney didn't do that He simply told the
- truth without sugar coating it and it
- worked Leaders from Asia noticed too
- Japan and South Korea had both faced
- trade pressure from the US They usually
- gave in or tried to meet in the middle
- but now they saw that being firm and
- still respectful could work even for
- smaller countries The biggest message
- was this Trump's reputation as a great
- dealmaker was being questioned When
- asked to back up his plans with real
- data he struggled Without strong facts
- his arguments didn't hold up News
- outlets around the world showed pictures
- from the meeting Many pointed out how
- different the two leaders looked Carney
- quiet and still Trump moving and
- speaking loudly Some turned the moment
- into a meme showing the contrast between
- calm leadership and loud reactions Even
- in the US news coverage had mixed
- feelings Some tried to defend Trump but
- the facts were hard to argue with When
- the numbers are clear even friendly
- reporters have a tough time telling a
- 13:01
- different story After the meeting the
- results became clear very quickly Within
- one day Trump's threat to tax Canadian
- cars quietly disappeared His call for
- fast changes to trade deals was replaced
- with vague promises to talk more later
- Even more interesting other leaders
- began copying parts of Carney's method
- The final G7 statement which usually
- avoids strong words included phrases
- like fact-based trade and
- evidence-driven policy These were quiet
- ways of saying that not everyone agreed
- with Trump's style anymore Back in
- Canada people were proud Carney's
- approval numbers jumped Many Canadians
- liked how he stayed calm stood up for
- their country and didn't cause drama In
- the US things were more complicated
- Trump's strongest supporters stayed with
- him but voters in the middle and
- especially business leaders started
- asking questions If a smaller country
- like Canada could block Trump's plans so
- easily what would happen with bigger
- ones like China Business owners were
- 14:01
- also concerned Canada is one of
- America's biggest trade partners If even
- Canada was standing up to Trump it
- showed that the US might be losing its
- edge with its closest friends More and
- more people began wondering was Trump's
- reputation as a strong negotiator real
- or was it just an image Carney's actions
- at the G7 weren't just about winning an
- argument They showed how a leader can
- stand up for their country while staying
- calm and respectful His way of dealing
- with pressure gave other countries a new
- example to follow Carney didn't shout He
- didn't call names He brought facts
- stayed steady and spoke clearly that
- made it hard for Trump to fight back
- using emotion or drama What happened in
- Ottawa also showed that being honest and
- prepared still matters Carney's team had
- studied every detail They knew the
- numbers They guessed what Trump might
- say and they were ready with clear
- answers Trump on the other hand seemed
- to speak from memory and emotion He used
- 15:01
- big words and warnings but didn't have
- the facts to back them up That made a
- big difference in how people saw each
- leader This meeting wasn't just another
- political moment It was a lesson Carney
- didn't embarrass Trump with jokes or
- insults He did it with planning facts
- and calm confidence The picture of Trump
- waving his arms while Carney sat still
- told the whole story For many that was
- the moment Trump's image as a strong
- global leader started to fade Carney
- showed that countries don't have to
- choose between keeping peace and
- standing up for themselves He proved
- it's possible to do both by staying
- polite and standing firm on the facts
- Leaders around the world took notice
- Some may have been waiting for someone
- to show it could be done Canada did just
- that Trump often used pressure to get
- what he wanted But Carney didn't fall
- for that He didn't get scared He didn't
- get loud He stayed focused and clear and
- it worked For Trump this moment hurt
- more than a failed deal It hit the image
- 16:02
- he had built for years The image of
- someone who always wins who never backs
- down When a quiet economist from Canada
- made him look unprepared in front of
- world leaders people began to see him
- differently At the end of the summit
- there was no handshake Carney didn't
- walk away angry He just didn't feel the
- need to pretend everything was fine
- Sometimes saying nothing says the most
- Canada's message was simple You don't
- need to fight loudly to be strong You
- don't need to make threats to be
- respected And you don't have to lose
- your values to stand up for them What
- Canada showed that day was a new way to
- handle tough situations Not with anger
- not with fear but with calm thinking and
- truth Carney didn't try to hurt Trump He
- just refused to play by Trump's rules
- Trump may not forget that moment anytime
- soon but the rest of the world learned
- something important Even the biggest
- voices can be challenged if you're
- prepared respectful and clear The
- friendship between the US and Canada
- will continue but it won't be the same
- 17:02
- Canada made it clear Being a good friend
- doesn't mean saying yes to everything
- Real respect has to be earned not
- demanded Mark Carney gave the world a
- reminder of what leadership can look
- like Strong steady and focused on what's
- real As Trump looks to the future he may
- find that moment in Ottawa harder to
- leave behind than he expected
