President Donald Trump told reporters that incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney could not have been nicer during a phone call yesterday.
He also added that the Canadian leader will visit the White House within the next week, or sooner.
“He called me yesterday. Let’s make a deal he said. He was running for office, they both hated Trump, and the one who hated Trump, I think, was the one who won less. In fact I think the leader of the conservative opposition Pierre Poilievre hated me a lot more than the so-called liberal ,” he said.
Carney was elected prime minister earlier this week amid a wave of anti-Trump sentiment in his country. Carney won his party's leadership race in a landslide victory after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned last month. He has rallied against Trump's threats to annex the country as the "51st state" and has made defending Canada a central part of his platform.
In his comments yesterday, Carney vowed that his country would “never submit” to the United States, after a campaign overshadowed by incessant provocations and high trade tariffs imposed by the United States.
