Amid foreign threats, Carney trying to learn some diplomacy from the King – National [Video]

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is “trying to learn some diplomacy” from King Charles III as Canada faces “foreign threats.”

The King was in Canada earlier in the week to deliver the Throne speech and open this session of Parliament.

Carney, who was speaking at an event hosted by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, made an apparent reference to the economic threat Canada is facing from the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“In the face of foreign threats — no prize for guessing, you know what I’m saying — I’m trying to learn some diplomacy from the King,” Carney said, eliciting some laughs from the crowd.

Carney said the solution to foreign economic threats was “connecting Canada.”

“In face of foreign threats, a core priority of this government is to build projects of national significance, projects that reinforce our country’s resilience, projects that connect Canada,” he said.
