Carney sees Canada’s capabilities in the United Nations General Assembly

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada could find opportunities in crises after attending the United Nations General Assembly for this week in New York – where US President Donald Trump used his platform time to question the institution’s purpose.

“Every moment there is a rift, where there is a rupture, there is a possibility – it is our responsibility, it is our chance of Canada at this moment to find it,” Carney told the media.

“After my visit to the United Nations General Assembly, I can confirm the Canadians that there is a light, there are many possibilities.”

Carney earlier on Tuesday listened to Trump’s speech for an hour in the eighties of the United Nations General Assembly. In this, the President complained of the United Nations and preached the policies of the “first America” ​​that raised political geography and the global economy.

“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” He asked Trump accusing the Foundation of being full of “empty words.”

Trump said the United Nations has huge potential “but it is not even approaching” to receive it.

“These are the two things that I got from the United Nations: Salem is bad and a bad distance.”

The president later assured the diplomats who are interested in his tone of rhetoric. The Secretary -General Antonio Guterres told the Secretary -General that although it may differ sometimes with the United Nations, it is “behind this because the possibility of peace in this institution is great.”

Earlier this year, Trump ordered a review of the US involvement in the organization, withdrew from the United Nations Human Rights Council and the freezing of US financing.

In his speech, Trump also retreated to the US allies, including Canada, who participated in a coordinated effort to recognize a Palestinian state. Trump said this step will be equivalent to Hamas for its attack on October 7, 2023, on Israel.

Carney had no individual meeting with the president while he was in New York, but he attended a reception on Tuesday night for world leaders hosted by the president.

The Prime Minister attended the Wednesday summit to create a sustainable and flexible global economy, as he had warm exchanges with the leaders of other countries and the Director of the World Trade Organization, Nguzi Okunjo Euila.

Talk about the main role of international financing in increasing the private capital of emerging and developing economies.

“We need to use rare dollars to the maximum effect,” Carney said. “This is not only about larger folders.”

The Prime Minister used the General Assembly for the meeting of CEOs and world leaders – part of his government’s batch to diversify the Canada trade and in response to Trump’s efforts to re -trade global through destructive definitions.

Carney met with leaders from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

During a bilateral meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Lee Qiang, Carney pointed out that since the two spoke the last time on the phone, “Our countries, our officials, have begun to engage more regularly, more constructive.”

Carney told me that the two countries “have an opportunity in a world that is changing quickly … to return this partnership to a new level, through a group of regions.”

The Prime Minister has regained the diplomatic relationship with Beijing, which was strained when Canada – to a large extent to compatible with the United States – China with a targeted tariff for major industries such as steel and electrical cars. On the other hand, China slapped Canada with heavy duties, especially on the canola.
