On social media, videos of Carney’s speech have already begun circulating with many offering up praise and commenting on the fact it received a standing ovation.
Journalist Carole Cadwalladr called the speech ‘one for the history books’.
Writer and British consultant and strategist Alastair Campbell said: “Standing ovation for @ MarkCarney at Davos. (Those do not happen often). Brutally honest assessment of the situation Trump is creating for the world.”
Wall Street Journal’s Mike Bird also encouraged people to read Carney’s speech in full.
The US President was full of praise when meeting with Canada’s new Prime Minister on the steps of the White House, however, that didn’t stop him from seemingly donning the hat of director.
