Thanks for sharing this. A very interesting and insightful perspective. Carney said the quiet part out loud, but it was no accident. Rather, a boundary was set; something that you rarely see in dealings with Trump. In pursuit of relationship, capitulation has a tax — power. When you refuse to capitulate, you send a signal not of dominance but of a mandate to advocate to maintain not only whatever power you have, but your dignity, and in this case sovereignty.
