Prime Minister Mark Carney is pushing back on a suggestion by a top U.S. official that he backtracked on some aspects of his speech in Davos during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney said he received a call from Trump on Jan. 26 and the two discussed a “wide range of subjects,” including the speech Carney delivered at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 20.
