Trump says ‘great relationship’ with Canada possible under Carney
Global News
U.S. President Donald Trump said he expects Prime Minister Mark Carney to come to the White House for a meeting 'very shortly, within the next week or less.'
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he believes a “great relationship” with Canada will be possible under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is now tasked with seeking a new economic and security agreement with the United States.
Carney’s Liberals won a minority government in Monday’s federal election, which was dominated by Trump’s threats on Canada’s economy and sovereignty.
The Liberals were overwhelmingly viewed in polling as the party best equipped to deal with Trump, and Carney has stressed the need to respond to the “American betrayal” of Canada.
Trump, speaking to reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House, appeared unbothered by Carney’s public comments and said he congratulated the new prime minister in a phone call Tuesday.
“I think we’re going to have a great relationship,” he said. “He called me up yesterday and said, ‘Let’s make a deal’ … He couldn’t have been nicer.”
The Prime Minister’s Office said Tuesday that Carney and Trump “agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together – as independent, sovereign nations – for their mutual betterment” and “agreed to meet in person in the near future.”
Trump said he expects Carney to come to the White House for that meeting “very shortly, within the next week or less.”
Global News has asked the Prime Minister’s Office to confirm if such a trip for Carney has been scheduled.
