Canada’s PM Cuts Off Trump at G7, Igniting Online Firestorm
At the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, a tense moment erupted when Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney abruptly cut off U.S. President Donald Trump during a press conference, sparking viral debate across the internet.
The confrontation began over a stalled trade deal. Trump, promoting his “tariff concept,” took a subtle jab at Carney, calling the Canadian’s approach “complex but good.” Carney responded with a smirk and a now-viral wink to reporters — a gesture many interpreted as mockery.
Later, when Trump began blaming Obama and former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau for Russia’s removal from the G8, Carney cut in, asserting his authority as G7 chair: “If you don’t mind, I’m going to exercise my role.” The interruption stopped Trump mid-sentence and immediately set the internet ablaze.
Reactions split: Liberals praised Carney’s cool confidence, while Trump supporters slammed it as disrespect. Memes, jokes, and heated threads followed — proof of the deep political divide.
