The National Telegraph - Wyatt Claypool - Mark Carney Secretly Sabotaging US Relationship - Tells Europe To Ditch America!

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, Wyatt Claypool here, and welcome back to the National Telegraph YouTube channel.

00:00:06.240 An article came out yesterday in the Wall Street Journal that I believe was trying to cast Prime Minister Mark Carney in a positive light,

00:00:15.400 but ended up just revealing that he has been secretly trying to undermine not only Canada's relationship with the United States,

00:00:23.520 but Europe's relationship with the United States.

00:00:26.200 This article was originally reporting on a meeting that supposedly happened early into 2026 between European leaders discussing what to do with Donald Trump and the rupture in their relationship with America.

00:00:41.040 And at one point, Carney is mentioned as having been texting leaders, basically telling them not to try and cozy back up with America, to basically stay separate.

00:00:52.640 Well, there's not really a rupture in a relationship if Mark Carney is going around trying to make sure the rupture isn't repaired. That sounds like he is actually the one causing the rupture.

00:01:05.240 this is going to do, doubtless to say, great things for our attempt to get a trade deal with

00:01:12.840 the Americans. Reports coming out of the Wall Street Journal that Mark Carney is running around

00:01:17.680 like a weasel texting world leaders telling them not to be friendly with Donald Trump and the

00:01:22.900 Americans. But I just want to read this section of the article, and then I want to actually get

00:01:27.200 into a video clip of U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoogstra discussing trade with Mexico and trade with

00:01:34.600 Canada. But first, this article says, several participants mentioned a man who wasn't in the

00:01:40.880 room. Mark Carney, the new Canadian Prime Minister, had been regularly messaging Europe's major

00:01:46.920 leaders using a British phone number from his time in London, trying to persuade them that, quote,

00:01:53.340 the old America isn't coming back, unquote. Now on the heels of a blistering speech at the annual

00:01:59.560 Davos gathering, his arguments were gaining ground. Canada, said the Prime Minister of Spain,

00:02:06.260 quote, is openly saying what we should do. Now, that's not a very good look. Maybe you're not

00:02:15.700 getting what's happening here, but Carney is using his old burner phone that he had when he

00:02:21.800 was the governor of the Bank of England, and he is texting the major European leaders, basically

00:02:28.840 saying, yeah, America's not coming back. They're not going to be kind and friendly anymore. Don't

00:02:34.160 bother trying to partner with them. And later on, they also mention what the prime minister of

00:02:41.460 Spain is referring to when he says that Canada is openly saying what we should do is that we should

00:02:48.400 form this middle powers alliance to cut America out of the global system. Of course, that middle

00:02:55.620 powers sort of dynamic that Carney has cooked up in his mind still, for some reason, includes

00:03:01.400 communist China. But don't think about that. Don't worry about that. That's not concerning.

00:03:06.960 But that's also something, the whole middle powers alliance that he was talking about

00:03:11.520 at the World Economic Forum in Davos is something that Carney now denies he ever advocated for,

00:03:18.140 even though it's on video. And we wonder why we can't get a trade deal with this guy

00:03:24.620 leading the parade. He's just completely not only incompetent to actually getting Canada leverage so

00:03:31.440 that we can properly negotiate with America, not just making concessions, but also being able to

00:03:36.880 make demands. But at the same time, he's weakened the country's economy. He's going around slagging

00:03:43.540 the United States, not only publicly, but saying worse things behind the scenes, basically telling

00:03:50.120 other countries to not speak to america and the funny thing is since january of 2026 when this

00:03:57.140 article was being written about although it only came out yesterday that like all these other

00:04:02.080 countries have actually mostly improved their relationship with america yes the iran war caused

00:04:07.240 some rifts with european leaders but regardless of what they rhetorically think about each other

00:04:12.720 these european countries are like moving forward with the united states whereas canada is stuck in

00:04:18.180 elbows up mode, where to our own detriment, we don't actually want to try and repair the

00:04:24.640 relationship. Now, people are going to say, well, Trump was the problem. That's why there's a

00:04:29.340 rupture in the relationship. Okay. Okay. Let's just say that's true. Now, I think Canada had

00:04:35.980 been basically, I think it's a little bit more of a it takes two situation than many people say in

00:04:41.820 canada well let's say it's a hundred percent america's fault maybe possibly the best thing

00:04:48.220 that we should be doing is not running around to european leaders and trying to be the country

00:04:53.540 telling everyone not to be friendly with the united states that doesn't look very good when

00:04:58.280 we come to the negotiating table and the american negotiators are going to like be bringing this up

00:05:03.840 that hey as a part of the negotiations can you stop can the leader of your country stop texting

00:05:11.120 the Prime Minister of Spain and the Chancellor of Germany to not be friendly with us, to not trust

00:05:18.360 us, that's kind of a bad look. It creates a trust problem between Canada and America,

00:05:23.840 while Canada is telling everyone else not to trust America. But anyways, now I want to get in

00:05:30.300 to this video with Pete Hoogstra on Global News, talking about the current state of trade

00:05:36.640 negotiations with Mexico and then Canada, because this is very telling of the whole situation.

00:05:43.160 He can speak openly about everything that's going on in the negotiations with Mexico,

00:05:47.500 but Canada, it's still radio silence where we are currently at in trade negotiations.

00:05:54.000 It's almost like we're going nowhere fast.

00:05:57.280 We and the Mexicans believe that we have made significant progress at initially a 30,000

00:06:04.420 foot level saying, okay, these are the things that are important to the U.S. These are the

00:06:09.580 things that are important to Mexico. Directionally, this is where we want to go. This is how we see

00:06:15.620 the framework of an agreement. All right, now let's sit down and let's have the technical details

00:06:20.700 worked out on these issues. And to do that, we got to sit across the table from each other

00:06:27.620 and fill in the details. And that's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. We've had two

00:06:32.100 rounds of negotiations with Mexico to try to fill in the details. We have another one set for later

00:06:39.260 on in the month of July, with a possibility of having one or two more rounds of talks

00:06:45.460 in August. So significant progress at 30,000 feet saying, here's where we both want to go.

00:06:51.820 This is directionally the issues that we want to address. We're kind of in alignment,

00:06:57.680 what we want to accomplish. Now let's fill out the details. We haven't gotten to that point with

00:07:03.480 Canada. So no significant progress with Canada. There's maybe been some progress, but not the

00:07:09.180 significant amount of progress that says, OK, we know exactly where we're going. Now let's fill

00:07:15.480 out the details. LeBlanc says the change means there's no more predictability between the trading

00:07:21.280 partners. LeBlanc adds he's unsure how U.S. trade representative Jameson Greer intends

00:07:27.540 to structure talks for the annual review, but bilateral talks could help reduce U.S. tariffs

00:07:33.440 on Canadian goods that fall outside Kuzma's protections, including those on steel, aluminum,

00:07:38.880 and softwood lumber. Apparently, Minister LeBlanc is just the minister of I don't knows. He doesn't

00:07:46.000 know how anything's going at any particular time because what Pete Hoogstra is describing is that

00:07:52.280 like like he said like Mexico and the Americans it's not like they're about to be done no one's

00:07:57.120 expecting that trade deals get done in like a month I've never advocated that we can get this

00:08:03.140 all firmed up in a week I've maybe said that we can like come to basically an agreement and then

00:08:07.560 you had to fill in the details over time but we know where we are going but like Mexico actually

00:08:13.240 has a direction. What Pete Hoegstra is then describing is that if Canada's progress is

00:08:19.660 significantly way worse than Mexico, that means that we aren't even at 30,000 feet yet. We don't

00:08:27.520 even know the direction that we want talks to be going into. We have no clue what we are actually

00:08:33.040 going to do when it comes to, you know, things like supply management. We don't know what we're

00:08:38.480 going to do about lumber, steel, aluminum, zero clue. We don't know what we're willing to give up

00:08:45.400 or what we want America to give up. So how has this not just been a giant practice in futility?

00:08:53.240 Mark Carney has, I think, been basically trying to make sure we don't get a deal with the United

00:08:59.160 States. I think there's something ideological in the man's heart that hates America so much

00:09:04.500 that regardless of what the U.S. did, what Trump said, okay, he said some bad things. I don't like

00:09:09.760 the initial tariffs. They also don't like our supply management tariffs, to be fair, and they've

00:09:13.700 been going on for like 40 years at this point. But let's just say, okay, I don't like anything

00:09:18.260 that they've done. But the adult thing, the thing that Mark Carney promised to be the adult in the

00:09:24.480 room, he should be willing to try and meet in the middle to get a deal. But he acts as if he is

00:09:30.860 like he's acting this high-handed way while he is running the weaker economy with less military

00:09:37.280 power and a smaller population and he's acting as if the americans are going to have to come to him

00:09:42.620 and just offer everything and then we'll maybe give them like the smallest of concessions

00:09:47.000 in response the whole everything that mark carney is doing right now in my opinion is directionally

00:09:54.980 meant to keep Tox bogged down in the mud. Same thing with his pipeline plans. I really don't

00:10:01.860 think he actually has his heart in building a pipeline. That's why we end up with a pipeline

00:10:07.900 timeline for the southern route to the west coast of like 10 years. I believe that Danielle Smith,

00:10:14.960 the premier of Alberta, is fully sincere about wanting to build pipelines. Obviously,

00:10:19.140 that's like her brand. I think she likes building pipelines. She's having to work with Mark Carney, 1.00

00:10:24.400 And I think that she's having to happy talk her way into a deal that at best is going

00:10:29.980 to be another decade until we actually are moving any substantially larger amount of

00:10:35.940 oil and gas, at which point we'll actually probably need to double our pipeline capacity

00:10:40.840 again, because every time we drag our feet and make it very late until we actually build

00:10:45.800 a new project, at that point, the demand that we're trying to meet is not actually met by

00:10:51.880 the new pipeline capacity.

00:10:53.960 Anyways, I want to keep on rambling, but thank you guys for watching this video.

00:11:04.620 Tomorrow, I will be back on the whiteboard because we have multiple new polls to go over

00:11:09.720 with some really good British Columbia regional numbers for the Conservatives,

00:11:14.420 which says good things for them going into the North Vancouver Capilano by-election

00:11:19.520 that is, in fact, decently winnable for the Conservatives.

00:11:23.160 But of course, with all that being said, thank you guys for watching, and I'll see you all later.
