President Trump reported a productive conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, showing a shift in tone amid rising trade tensions. The two leaders plan to meet after Canada's elections, signaling a commitment to work on issues affecting both countries. The admittance of disagreements emerged as Carney rebuked Trump's recent tariffs. This marked a significant change, given Trump's previous rhetoric towards Canada. Carney noted that the historical integration and cooperation between the US and Canada have transformed dramatically under Trump's leadership, challenging Carney's approach towards maintaining Canada's sovereignty.
I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada, Trump wrote. 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.
I reject any attempts to weaken Canada, to wear us down, to break us, so that America can own us. That will never happen, Carney said on Thursday.
The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over, the Canadian prime minister told reporters.
