Canada's Carney Mocks Trump Over Conspiracy Claims
Since Trump returned to the Oval Office for a second term, relations between the U.S. and Canada have become increasingly strained.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney playfully mocked U.S. President Donald Trump at a housing policy news briefing in Toronto on Wednesday after a teleprompter malfunctioned during his speech. Carney, speaking in French, jokingly informed the audience that the teleprompter had stopped working and emphasized that he did not view it as a conspiracy, contrasting himself with Trump's claims of sabotage.
The incident echoed Trump's previous remarks about a teleprompter malfunction during his UN address in September. Trump has continued to criticize Canada, particularly in relation to tariffs and trade relations, which have strained the bilateral relationship since Trump's second term as U.S. President began. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a symbol of U.S.-Canada tensions, remains a point of contention between the two nations.
