US President Donald Trump claimed Friday that he had a “extremely productive” first discussion with Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite rising tensions over tariffs and Trump’s desire to conquer his northern neighbour.
Trump also stated that the two intended to meet soon after Canada’s April 28 general election, in which Carney – who entered office two weeks ago – has made standing up to the US president a centrepiece of his campaign.
“I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
He said that they will be “meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada.”
Typically, a new Canadian leader makes a phone call to the US president a top priority, but this was Trump and Carney’s first communication since the Canadian’s inauguration on March 14.
