Trump says first call with Mark Carney was 'productive,' leaders 'agree on many things' [View all]

Source: CBC Canadian Broadcasting Corp

"I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in which he said the two leaders "agree on many things."

"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 other factors that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada," Trump wrote.

The U.S. president's announcement that the two leaders will meet after Canada goes to the polls suggests Trump has decided that Carney will still be prime minister after April 28, despite voting day remaining a month away.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) confirmed the call took place and said it would be sending out a readout of the conversation shortly.

Carney insisted on respect and we see tRump calling him Prime Minister and not the provocative term he's used in the past.

I await the readout with interest.
