Canadian Prime Minister Carney is making his move as MBS, the Crown Prince of...
is ghosting Donald Trump, as are many middies countries and many countries at the highest leadership level across the world. Let me explain to you what is happening because following the NATO summit in Ankara Turkey, Prime Minister Carney went to Saudi Arabia to meet with MBS and announce mass partnerships between Canada and Saudi Arabia. Notably, Prime Minister Carney, while in Saudi Arabia also talked about human rights, also acknowledged that there are major
disagreements between the values of Canada and Saudi Arabia. He acknowledged it head on with MBS
“standing right there. But Prime Minister Carney said it is important that we can still engage”
in partnerships for the economic benefit of Canadians and through partnerships, we in Canada may be able to have a better influence on human rights and other important things to the Canadian people, such a difference between Donald Trump and MBS is meeting or Donald Trump and the meetings with authoritarian in general. Where Donald Trump is that authoritarian bootlicker. Now, MBS is ghosting Donald Trump. I just want you to think about it. When Marco Rubio went to the Middle East in order
to try to undermine the MOU, which he's now done, but when he visited about two weeks ago or so,
notably he did not stop in Saudi Arabia. That would normally be the first stop for Rubio. That
“would be the first stop for a American diplomat because of Trump's prior relationship with MBS.”
But MBS feels utterly betrayed by Donald Trump. MBS is like we've given you all of these things Donald. I've personally given you and Kushner, all of this money, all of these benefits, and you went to Netanyahu and did this unlawful and catastrophic war against Iran, and you exposed Saudi Arabia to massive damage. And we thought we were buying protection and we were defrauded. So you'll note how MBS has been pulling back on lots of investments in the United
States. Lots of money pouring in from MBS into the United States has been clawed back. And that's a result of the betrayal that MBS feels that Donald Trump has engaged in with MBS. Prime Minister
Carney knows that. So let me show you what Prime Minister Carney did when he was there. First let me
just remind you, this is when Donald Trump was with MBS and he would like start grabbing and pulling an MBS and then they would post these weird photos together. Remember this last year before Trump and Netanyahu launched the catastrophic war against Iran here. Let's play this clip. There's one of the most respected people in the world. You shake his hand. You don't get my fist up. Okay, and then remember when Donald Trump's like, and I want MBS and Saudi Arabia to join the
Abraham Accords with Israel and Saudi Arabia's like stop. We're not doing that until there's the Palestinian state until there are two states that we're not talking about the Abraham Accords.
“Stop asking us all of these things. I think also MBS and others see a deeply on serious”
United States. Not just a dangerous one. I mean, what's Trump doing today? He's changing the columns to Corinthian columns in the White House and they're doing all this work in the front and back of the White House, you know, which is again a violation of the law. So in any event,
Prime Minister Carney shows up in Saudi Arabia. And first he talks about
we in Canada are looking to double our non-US exports and we're on track for that here play this clip. We're looking to catalyze a trillion dollars of investment between now and the end of this decade. We are embarking on a defense industrial build that's half a trillion dollars. We're looking to double our non-US exports. We're on track for that. We're growing jobs at the twice the rate of the United States. We're at the highest level of foreign
direct investment in 20 years in Canada. It's running at twice the pace of our nearest G7 gear adjusted for the size of the economy. We're now rated as the most attractive investment
Infrastructure destination in the world.
about how Canada and Saudi Arabia have grown cooperation now across key sectors here play this clip. I would like to thank his Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia for his hospitality and for our rich discussions this afternoon. Canada and Saudi Arabia have growing cooperation across key sectors, some of which I've referenced, but also want to recognize the kingdom's broader efforts to promote regional stability and security. And here he talks about
all of the actual deals that Canada did with Saudi Arabia. Not deals that Prime Minister Carney did to enrich himself and the Carney family, right? I mean, just the idea could you imagine. If Carney was stock trading and doing deals for the Carney family, it's such a ridiculous concept
“that you'd like again. It's the craziest thing ever. But that's what the Trump regime does.”
But watch Prime Minister Carney talk about the deals here play this clip. Here today in Jetta, we are building partnerships with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Harnessing the ambitions of our nations to catalyze greater security, prosperity and opportunity for both our peoples. We signed Canadian, as should say, Canadian and Saudi businesses have signed
13 new commercial agreements across education, critical minerals and mining, energy,
infrastructure, security, artificial intelligence. In education, agreements to train workers in some of the kingdom's most dynamic industries, building the skills that will power its next decade of growth. In critical minerals and mining, new Canadian engineering partnerships are working on some of the most ambitious mining projects here, unlocking over $2 trillion of mineral wealth.
“In energy and infrastructure, Canadian expertise is supporting roads, rails, and urban”
development across the kingdom, along with clean building technologies that help get build sustainably. And in defense and security, new training partnerships support the kingdom's efforts to build domestic aviation and defense industry capabilities. Now, artificial intelligence, Canadian AI and health technology partnerships are helping to transform patient monitoring diagnostics and surgical care.
We're aiming to conclude negotiations with Saudi Arabia for a foreign investment
promotion and protection agreement by the first quarter of next year. Canada's minister of
finance, who's here, intends to lead a delegation of Canadian pension funds. And there are two trillion dollars of capital to visit the kingdom and coming months to identify new investment
“opportunities. And Saudi Arabia's public investment fund will visit Canada in the fall,”
attending our Canada investment summit, which showcased some of our transformative projects. Canada is also announcing that we will participate in Expo 2030 here in Saudi, bringing Canadian projects, expertise showcasing the best of Canada at what will be a landmark event. I'm going to show you in a little bit when Prime Minister Karney talks about engagement with other countries is not endorsement. And again, think about a leader saying that while
actually in Saudi Arabia. I mean, think of them. To me, that's real power. That's real strength. But here he is talking about how he's going to lots of other countries after Ankara and Turkey to do deals. Real deals, not fake Trump deals. You're playing this clip. So in four days and three countries, we've worked to build our strengths, to build trust with our allies, to build a new partnership with the world. And this time of uncertainty,
we're choosing to act. We're choosing to build Canada strong. So then he says engagement is not endorsement. We can engage, but we can still make clear that we're not compromising our human rights and values and principles in Canada. Again, just think about him saying this inside Saudi Arabia. Here play this clip. We recognize a couple of things. One is that engagement is not endorsement. So engaging with the country doesn't mean that we agree with everything that a country is doing.
In fact, I can't think of a country on the planet. We would agree with everything. That they're doing, first point. No country is no country is Canada and we don't even agree
with everything that's happening in Canada. Better is always possible, including for Canada.
So that's the first. The second is that we recognize in a world that's more dangerous, that's more divided, a world where we need to diversify our partnerships, where we've become over-reliant on a partner with whom we share many things. The United States, so we share many things and we value that partnership. But we're over-reliant. That's been demonstrated. Every Canadians have very strongly recognized that and we're looking to diversify. So
We are actively engaging with key partners around the world.
depending on alignment and depending on our interests. Part of our interests is to build our strategic capabilities. In other words, to build in areas that make Canada more resilient, stronger, more independent, and where there's complementarities, we do that.
“Because Prime Minister Carnegie, again, I think also throwing shade at Donald Trump, but also”
says lecturing other countries from far away may feel gratifying and may feel satisfying. But as ultimately that effective in changing the direction or changing the policy,
or should there be other ways to go about, but here's what he says. You're playing this clip.
Lecturing countries from afar is an ineffective strategy. It's satisfying, but it's ineffective. Engagement can be effective. It doesn't mean it's always effective. It doesn't mean it's decisive. It can be effective. We care deeply about human rights. We care deeply about self-determination for nations. We care deeply about territorial integrity of nations. We care deeply about Canadian consulate cases. I addressed a Canadian consulate case in Anankra two days ago.
And because I was with the president, it was addressed. If I sat in Ottawa and pointed out
“all the things that we or it might not agree with with what Turkey has done or is doing or might do,”
I wouldn't have had that conversation. I wouldn't have had that impact. That's a small example, but it is an example of a broader point. He then talks about how we recognize as a government the importance of countries that are active and influential. And because we have influence, we have partnerships, we can potentially in Canada help make positive outcomes here play this clip. We recognize as a government the importance of countries that are active and influential
in geographies in the world and in situations in the world about which we care deeply.
Canadians, Canada, has always cared deeply about the Middle East. Canadian Canada has since
before Deep and Baker, I'm going to stretch it back. Well, I should back to well since 1948 actually has supported a two-state solution. I'll give the example of the two countries that I've been to on this trip. Two of the most influential countries with respect to potential solutions there are Saudi Arabia and Turkey. We need to engage with these countries. We need to be speaking with we need to work with them
“that doesn't mean that they have the key to one lock things, but not being engaged, not talking to them”
on level. I'm the first Prime Minister to come here in 25 years.
I was the first Prime Minister to speak to President Erdogan over a decade. Speak to him.
And so it's about recognizing where we can have influence, where we can build resilience independence strike, Canada, calibrating and also creating a situation and a dialogue where we can raise issues. And because we have influence and because we have partnerships, we have a greater chance of a positive outcomes and positive progress. And again, just think about the contrast between that and Donald Trump in Saudi Arabia,
where Donald Trump says, "DisTrump blow him all the way, just Trump ball him all the way." Here, watch what he says here, play this clip. And Reagan, he's one of the historical president that has close ties with Saudi Arabia, but we've worked with all presidents. It's not a good name, it's the president.
And Trump doesn't give a fish pump. I grabbed that hand, I don't give a hell with that hand's been, I grabbed that hand. That was Trump with MBS in 2025. Lastly, as Donald Trump was landing on Air Force One, you saw it by now. He talks about attacking Europe, pulling troops from Europe, and as
this politician from Denmark, Rosemar Jar Lough, says, "We don't care. These threats don't work anymore, pull your troops, don't pull your troops out, let them stay whatever. It's not gonna have any influence on the fact that we're not giving you one square centimeter of Greenland. So think about the different approaches here, Carney and Trump here. Play this clip and Trump."
"They made me a different of the press, but it was tremendous unity together and it was quite nice."
"It was a part of the whole morning.
it wears." "I haven't made that final decision. A lot's going to depend on Greenland."
“"And a lot of luck. I think it's a very good deal in Greenland. And if we don't,”
maybe I will. And a lot's dependant on Greenland. I mean, they want to help now.
And it's sort of late to think, essentially, there's not that much fighting to be done.
“But some will depend on the Redland. When they had a chance and opportunity to help,”
they chose not to do so. But we started forgetting about that. And now they want to help. They want to help on the Redland. But we don't really need help. It's little things.
“We don't really need help." "It's interesting. I'll show our beginning commitments too."”
