Mark Carney mimics Trump's style

  Mark Carney playfully mocked US President Donald Trump during a public address. He mimicked the "accordion hands" gesture often associated with Trump, drawing loud applause and cheers from the audience.

This lighthearted moment occurred while the 61-year-old was discussing a massive $70 billion Canadian clean-energy package, which he described as being "equivalent to 18 Hoover Dams." While repeating the phrase "18 Hoover Dams," Carney skillfully mimicked the US President's famous mannerism by moving his hands back and forth.

As he said "18 Hoover Dams," Carney mimicked the style often associated with the US President by repeatedly moving his hands inward and outward. Seeing this gesture, the audience began to laugh and applaud.

After the audience's enthusiastic response, Carney paused for a moment and said with a smile, "That's enough." He then mimicked Trump's hand gestures once more before continuing his speech.

Carney delivered this address amidst the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States. Tensions regarding trade relations between the two nations have escalated, and trade negotiations had broken down in August.

Carney stated that the U.S. "demanded too much and offered too little." He also alleged that the U.S. sought to curtail Canada's freedom to enter into trade agreements with other countries.

Following the collapse of trade talks, the U.S. imposed a 50 percent tariff on goods worth approximately $20 billion (USD) imported from Canada. In response, Canada implemented equivalent retaliatory tariffs on American goods.
