Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed he apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump after an Ontario anti-tariff ad aired in the U.S.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he apologized to United States President Donald Trump after an Ontario anti-tariff ad aired in the U.S. last week.
Carney made the comments Saturday from South Korea at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit when asked by reporters whether an apology was made.
“I did apologize to the president. The president was offended by the ad, and it’s not something I would have done, which is to put in place that advertisement, and so I apologized to him,” Carney said.
“I’m the one who is responsible, in my role as prime minister for the relationship with the President of the United States, and the federal government is responsible for the foreign relationship with the U.S. government. So, things happen. We take the good with the bad, and I apologized to him.”
This comes after Trump told reporters Friday aboard Air Force One that Carney “apologized” to him for the ad when the two leaders met in Asia earlier in the week.
He added “I have a very good relationship. I like him (Carney) a lot.”
When Carney was asked Saturday if he initially told Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to go forward with the ad he said “yes,” and added:
“You saw what came of it.”
