What has Mark Carney said about Trump before?
Trump and Carney made their first call together last month. When Carney first thought back on their conversation, he decided not to mention the president’s use of the call to push for Canada’s inclusion in the US.
Trump’respected Canada’s sovereignty today both in his private and public comments,’ he said, characterizing the exchange as ‘cordial’ and ‘good’.
According to two people who talked to Radio-Canada, Carney allegedly said, “Let’s agree to disagree on that one,” after being questioned about the idea of incorporating Canada to become a part of the US.
But the prime minister’s spokeswoman has denied that Carney actually uttered those things.
