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