How does Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly criticize Trump ally Gianni Infantino?
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney just stuck a knife into Donald Trump's top ally, and he stuck a knife into Donald Trump's continuous attacks on Canada. I want you to watch here as Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney says that he has no confidence in the FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, and that Infantino, one of Donald Trump's top allies, how Infantino needs to go. Let's play this clip.
The second thing, look, I've run a few organizations in my time. The idea that proper governance is not to disclose to your closest advisors, your chief operating officer, your fellow board members, something of consequence that you're even considering, let alone proposing, that's fatal, should be fatal. And you lose confidence in that individual. They have their own procedures for making those determinations, but certainly I don't have confidence in Mr. Infantino after this point, given what transpired.
Then Prime Minister Carney calls out Donald Trump for blaming the fact that his teleprompter occasionally breaks on deranged conspiracies. While Prime Minister Carney was giving a speech, the teleprompter stopped working. Watch what Carney says right here, mocking Donald Trump. Let's play this clip.
I would like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.
Then Prime Minister Carney, during this press conference, talks about how Canada stands strongly behind the International Criminal Court, the ICC. This as the Trump regime continues to attack the ICC and go after the leaders of the ICC. Carney says Canada stands firmly behind the ICC. Let's play this clip.
Well, first, Canada is a proud member of the International Criminal Court. We support it with funding. We support it with personnel. We support it with our values. We support it with our actions. And we will continue to do so. It provides an essential service in a world that is more dangerous, more divided.
What reasons does Carney give for losing confidence in Infantino?
In fact, in many respects, its responsibilities are ever greater. You know, I think you can see the attachment to which the government places to these values and the rule of law and the importance of rule of law in the appointments that we have been making. And the Canadian judge? And the judge will provide support as needed and we work with with our American colleagues on a variety of issues to work to achieve results. But our support for the ICC is unequivocal.
Now, as Prime Minister Carney was holding that press conference earlier in the day on Wednesday, Donald Trump was giving a deranged speech in Las Vegas before a tiny crowd at the Red Rock Casino and Spa. And Donald Trump, while in Las Vegas, starts to attack Canada by calling Canada nasty. And he says they're very nasty. This as Donald Trump's attacks on Canada have been the cause of a Canadian boycott on American products, American services, and hospitality in America, which has had a crippling effect on Las Vegas. And here, Donald Trump invites more of the boycott by behaving in such a sick and deranged way towards Canada. Let's play this clip.
by everybody, by Canada. Canada's nasty. They are. They're nasty. People think Canada, they're nasty. People, I love the people, but they're nasty. Nasty leadership.
Back to Prime Minister Carney, an actual adult, an actual leader right here. He was asked how is he gonna respond in two weeks because Trump is threatened in that two weeks, he's gonna impose 50% tariffs on hockey sticks and other goods from Canada. Prime Minister Carney says, we are not afraid. We're going to negotiate and try to do a good deal. And if there isn't one, we're not going to enter into a bad deal.
Why does Carney defend the International Criminal Court against Trump’s attacks?
canada has gone elbows up we are not afraid of trump in the united states here play this clip uh we're now two weeks from president trump's threatened 50 tariffs on canadian goods how likely is it that you'll be able to fend those tariffs off uh we're seeing we're in the middle of negotiations and uh
