Barbara Boyd argued that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and European leaders are escalating their involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war while pursuing economic and defense policies that increasingly separate them from President Donald Trump’s America First agenda.

"There's a bunch of crazy central bankers led by Canada's Mark Carney who are so desperate to save their system that they will blow up the world in order to defeat Donald Trump," Boyd said.

She pointed to Russia's latest warning to Britain after British involvement in Ukraine drew a response from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

An ET NOW narrator reported: "Russia is issuing a stark warning to Britain. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says Moscow could treat direct British involvement in strikes on Russian territory as participation in the war, with all the ensuing consequences."

Boyd said the warning should be viewed alongside Britain's continued support for Ukraine, including efforts with France involving long-range strike missiles.

"If you pull that thread, everything else that is happening comes into a clearer view," Boyd said.

She maintained that Britain has played a central role in Western policy toward Ukraine and Russia for more than a decade and said Trump has pursued a different course since returning to office.

"Donald Trump stopped all of that and has tried to make peace," Boyd said.

"He has been resisted at every turn by the British and the Europeans who see war production as the only way to save their failing economies."

Boyd then focused on Carney, pointing to his previous leadership of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England and his work with the Financial Stability Board, World Economic Forum, Chatham House and Glasgow Alliance for Net Zero.

She also discussed Canada's role in establishing the Defense, Security and Resilience Bank, an institution intended to finance defense investments through loans.

Boyd said Carney has also moved toward closer economic and security relations with the European Union while trade tensions with the United States have increased.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer addressed one dispute during an interview with Joe Kernan.

"You speak French?" Kernan asked.

"I do speak French. I do," Greer replied.

"So you don't care whether they change some of the language up there?" Kernan asked.

"Yeah. No. I mean, that was a funny fake story, and I and I don't think that, I mean, I speak French. Two of my kids speak French. One of my kids was born in Paris, so I like the Québécois, and I like that they speak French. What we don't like is a situation where Canada, the federal government, forces American tech companies to take their earnings and give a percentage to their competitors in Canada," Greer said.

Boyd said Greer's comments rejected an account that disagreements involving Quebec's French-language requirements caused the trade negotiations to collapse.

She then played remarks from Carney describing Canada's plans for closer relations with Europe.

"This fall, we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership," Carney said.

"Now, we can build such unparalleled access because we're trusted, because we're reliable, and because we have what the world wants."

Boyd also pointed to Canada's increased focus on the Arctic.

She referenced Trump's August 2025 talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, which included discussion of future cooperation involving Arctic resources and transportation.

According to Boyd, Carney subsequently announced a major Canadian Arctic defense initiative in March 2026 and has now announced plans for six new icebreakers.

She also cited Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, who offered a critical assessment of America's global position.

"I would say we are no longer the leaders of the free world," Coons said.

"In fact, if anything, Volodymyr Zelensky is the the primary national leader who is putting his country's men and women on the line for freedom, and we need to earn our place back as leader of the free world in the future."

Boyd rejected Coons' assessment and argued that Trump's foreign and economic policies are challenging the international system favored by his political opponents.

"As you might have figured out by now, Carney and his Democrat fellow travelers like Chris Coons are quite crazy. Zelensky is the leader of the free world? Come on, man," Boyd said.

She also tied the international dispute to the Trump administration's policies toward Iran, pointing to new sanctions announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

"For example, every branch of Bank Melli must be shuttered and dark," Bessent said.

"And let me be clear, any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the U.S. dollar system. The clock just started ticking."

Bessent said the measures would reach several major areas of Iranian economic activity.

"The new sectoral sanctions determinations issued today target five of Iran's most vital lifelines that it exploits in other countries: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping," Bessent said.

Boyd ultimately argued that the conflicts over Ukraine, trade, defense spending and Iran are connected to a broader fight over Trump's economic and foreign policy agenda.

She further alleged that Trump's opponents are attempting to influence American political perceptions before the midterm elections through what she characterized as psychological and perception warfare.

"The reality is that if Trump succeeds in winning the midterms handily, the continuing rebuilding of the United States will go on, ruining the best efforts of these folks to recolonize us," Boyd said.

Boyd concluded by arguing that political disputes surrounding Russia and the midterms have consequences extending beyond ordinary partisan disagreements.

"In reality, these guys are desperate and running out of options fast," Boyd said.

"That's why they're attacking Russia in such a way that they might just blow up the entire world. That's why these midterm elections and defending what the president is doing is so very important."
