President Trump said he had a good talk with Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, on Friday. Trump said the two leaders “agree on many things” following weeks of tension with former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.
“I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and 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,” Trump said. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
It was the first time the two leaders have spoken.
On Thursday, Carney said the “old relationship” with the U.S. “is over” while vowing to engage in a renegotiation over a trade agreement.
