Donald Trump Speaks with Canada PM Mark Carney Amid Trade Tensions
ai generated text
Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, has had a productive conversation with US President Donald Trump. Trump correctly referred to Carney as Prime Minister, unlike in previous instances when he called his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, "governor". The two leaders discussed key political and economic matters, with a meeting planned after Canada's April 28 general election.
We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere.
It is clear that the United States is no longer a reliable partner. It is possible that, with comprehensive negotiations, we will be able to restore some trust, but there will be no turning back.
I'm available for a call, but we're going to talk on our terms. As a sovereign country – not as what he pretends we are – and on a comprehensive deal.
The president has made known his wish about that issue for some time. I've been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality.
We'll see, look, I don't know. He's the president, he's his own person. I would go back to showing the difference between a wish and a reality.
We are sitting in one right now. You know Buckingham Palace − you visited, as well. And having met, over the course of the campaign the last several months, the owners of Canada, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale − ever. But the opportunity is in the partnership and what we can build together.
We have a tremendous auto sector between the two of us. You know, 50% of a car that comes from Canada is American. That's not like anywhere else in the world.
Part of the way you conducted these tariffs has taken advantage of existing aspects of USMCA, so it's going to have to change.
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.
As a real estate developer, you know, I'm a real estate developer at heart.
We don't really want cars from Canada, and we put tariffs on cars from Canada, and at a certain point it won't make economic sense for Canada to build those cars. And we don't want steel from Canada because we're making our own steel.
The old relationship we had with the United States – based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation – is over.
Canadians are really upset at the president of the United States.
