CLAIM: A YouTube video authentically shows conservative columnist George Will reporting that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney walked out of the White House after U.S. President Donald Trump triggered a North American economic crisis.

The allegation spread largely through a YouTube video (archived) titled "1 Minute Ago: Carney Walks Out Did Trump Just Trigger a North American Economic Crisis | George Will."
