A trade announcement in Manila quickly becomes a test of what Canada would accept from Washington. Mark Carney opens by announcing the conclusion of Canada-Philippines free trade negotiations, then faces questions about auto jobs, Chinese investment and Russia's demands over NATO.
The full press conference on DRM News drew about 140,000 views in its first 21 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. A separate upload featuring Carney's answer on Russia and NATO also drew unusually strong viewing.
Carney describes the Philippines negotiations and progress toward an ASEAN trade agreement as parts of a broader effort to reduce Canada's relative dependence on the United States. He sets out a goal of doubling non-U.S. exports by 2035, while explaining that technical work remains on the Philippines deal.
The questions bring that strategy down to factory level. Asked about Stellantis's Brampton plant, Carney says Canada is working with Ontario and expects the company to honor its commitments. On U.S. negotiations, he says any agreement must leave Canada with a viable domestic auto sector. Chinese investment, he adds, would remain subject to existing caps.
There is no announcement of an imminent North American leaders' meeting. Carney says a bilateral agreement with the U.S. is possible, but not yet reached.
The sharpest foreign-policy answer comes when a journalist asks about reported Trump-Putin-Xi talks and Russian demands concerning NATO. Carney says European security arrangements are for Europe and NATO to determine, not Russia. "There is no way that Canada, as a NATO member, is going to walk away from any other NATO member, ever."
Canada’s prime minister and Liberal Party leader since 2025. He previously led the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.
