Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 23, 2026 —
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed U.S. claims that Canadian politicians are interfering in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, speaking in Istanbul, Turkey. He also expressed disappointment with the U.S. ambassador to Canada over the accusations.
The remarks address allegations involving Canadian politicians and an upcoming U.S. election. The account of Carney’s comments does not specify which politicians were named, what actions the U.S. claims involved, or who made the claims. It also does not identify the ambassador or provide the ambassador’s response.
No direct quotation from Carney is provided, and the precise wording of his remarks is not available. The account does not give the date or setting of his comments in Istanbul beyond identifying the city, nor does it provide further details about the exchange between the governments.
The available information therefore establishes Carney’s rejection of the claims and his stated disappointment with the ambassador, but leaves the underlying allegations and their context unclear. It does not indicate whether either government took further action or whether additional responses followed. No details are provided about the timing of the alleged interference or the specific basis for the U.S. claims.
