Canada's Mark Carney Mimics Trump's Hand Gesture Amid Trade Dispute
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney humorously mimicked US President Donald Trump's distinctive 'accordion hands' gesture during a speech in Ottawa, eliciting laughter and applause. The moment occurred while discussing a C$70 billion clean-energy package, described as equivalent to '18 Hoover Dams.' This took place amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the US, following failed negotiations and US-imposed tariffs. Carney also advocated for stronger Canada-EU ties in energy, defence, and technology sectors.
