During a housing policy news briefing at a construction site in Toronto on Wednesday, Carney was speaking in French before he abruptly stopped, telling the crowd in English: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”
The remark appeared to reference Trump's claims of “sabotage” after a teleprompter malfunctioned during his address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last September.
The incident came after Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania, encountered a stalled escalator en route to the main speaking hall.
Trump has yet to publicly respond to Carney referencing the teleprompter incident, but he did continue his criticism of Canada during his own speech on Wednesday afternoon.
Referencing his controversial approach to tariffs, Trump said: “I love tariffs, right? Because we've been screwed by tariffs used against us for years. By China, by Japan, by South Korea, by Germany, by everybody, by Canada.”
This is the latest example of the rift between Trump and Carney and, beyond that, the U.S. and Canada.
Canada imposed tariffs on some vehicle imports from the U.S. in 2025 amid a trade war sparked by Trump’s global tariffs, the majority of which were struck down by a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year.
Toward the end of the month, Trump announced a 50% tariff hike on Canadian goods, with the levies set to come into effect on Aug. 19.
In an April 2025 interview with TIME, Trump denied he was “trolling” when talking about his desire to annex Canada. “We’re taking care of their military. We're taking care of every aspect of their lives… We don't need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state,” he said.
Other Canadian officials have also vocally opposed the annexation rhetoric, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford insisting: “Canada will never be the 51st state. Canada is not for sale.”
Trump seized on the crisis to again criticize Canada's leadership, vowing to hold the country “responsible” on account of the U.S. being “unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air.”
The bridge that became a symbol of U.S.-Canada tensions
One symbol of the deteriorating relationship is the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The construction and collaboration involved in the newly-opened bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Ontario, was plagued with difficulties.
More recently, there have been disagreements over the planned distribution of tolls.
Amid the fallout, Canadian officials canceled a joint ribbon-cutting ceremony intended to mark the opening of the bridge, instead opting to celebrate the milestone on July 24 without any U.S. representatives.
At the ceremony, Ford—who was dressed in a Team Canada jersey in honor of prolific Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe—said "Canada has never been more united.” He vowed that “Ontario will be ready to respond to any new American tariffs [and] will not back down and will negotiate from a position of strength."
Trump called out Canada’s decision to “disinvite” the U.S. officials, but said he was ultimately fine about the move “considering they [Canada] are paying substantial tariffs to the United States.”
