Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has criticized members of the Trump administration for making insulting remarks about Canada. He described these comments as 'beneath their office' while responding to questions about the insults directed at Canada's military by U.S. officials.

The remarks come in the wake of a social media post by Pete Hegseth, a member of the Trump administration, which mocked Canada's military. This post received significant backlash, further escalating tensions related to the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade dispute.

Carney emphasized that serious trade discussions would only commence once the U.S. refrained from making derogatory remarks, urging the administration to 'stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, and stop trying to be tough' according to multiple reports.
