Ive no way of verifying it but I've seen the following claim from a Facebook source, which I've edited down. Mark Carney increased Canada’s holdings of U.S. Treasury Bonds while the world braced for Trump’s trade wars and annexation talk. This move was  was strategylic, to gain leverage, and coupled with Carney’s stop in the EU to meet with key foreign economic players, laying the groundwork for what needed to happen if things went off the rails due to Trump: a coordinated act of off-loading U.S. Treasury Bonds, not in a panic but in precision.

When Mark Carney and Trump finally spoke and it's claimed Carney laid out clearly to Trump: if Canada dumps its U.S. bonds, we won’t be alone, others will follow — and the US dollar will drop like a rock.

As I say, not sure how reliable that is but I've not heard Trump say much abou Canada recently or call Carney "governor"?
