Carney walked back Davos comments in call with Trump, US treasury chief says

I wonder if Carney apologized, or the Treasury chief is lying.

My bet is that the conversation was mostly one-sided and that an apology was demanded. Whether it was delivered, I don't know. But given the US administration has played fast and loose with the truth in the past, I'll give it a doubt.

Bessent isn't someone anyone should take what they at face value.

‘I meant what I said:’ PM Carney stands by Davos speech despite U.S. claims

Prime Minister Mark Carney is standing by his speech at the World Economic Forum last week, despite claims from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration that he “aggressively” walked back some of his comments during a phone call.

One persons "aggressively walked back" is another's "placated with hollow diplo-speak"

Indeed. Until and unless I see a transcript confirming it, I put zero weight to Bessent’s characterization.
