Your guide to what the second period of Trump means to Washington, business and the world

Many foreign leaders come to the Oval Office with a plan to cancel Donald Trump. When Mark Carney arrived from Canada on Tuesday, the American president was completing.

Trump began the meeting with a courtesy and a reference to the respect of the Prime Minister who just won the Canadian elections.

I think Canada The president at the Oval Office said: “He chose a very talented person. I think we have a lot of common things. We have some difficult points that we go to, and that will be fine,” the president said at the Oval Office.

The primary Bonomi put the way to face the high risks between Trump and Carney, which could have descended into a public tin similar to the notorious meeting with Volodimir Zelinski, given the president’s audio batch to make Canada the 51st American country and the rampant trade tensions between countries.

In this event, Carnic He listened politely to Trump his dreams from Canadian annexation while JD Vance, Vice President, and Marco Rubio, Minister of Foreign Affairs, sat quietly on a close sofa.

“This will really be a great marriage because it is two places that are very well corresponding to. They love each other a lot,” Trump said. But in a clear concession that this is unlikely to happen without Canada’s approval, he added: “It takes two to Tango, right?”

He added, “I had a lot of things that were not implemented,” I had a lot of things that were not implemented, and I ended up.

“If this is in favor of everyone, Canada loves us, and we love Canada … over time, we will see what is happening.”

Carney, a former central bank who installed the electoral victory by throwing himself as defender of Canada, amid a wave of public anger when Trump advanced, quietly refused but firmly width his neighbor.

He said: “After I met the owners of Canada over the campaign in the past few months, it is not for sale.”

“(Canada) will not be for sale – at all – but the opportunity in partnership and what we can build together.”

Returning to the homeland, many Carney citizens are ready to completely abandon this partnership – and considered the American president to take a line in challenging their country.

But Carney is no longer for campaigns. Former Bank of England, who has seen the UK, knows to cut himself out of its closest commercial partners that for Canada, the United States and its customers are still extremely important – whatever the person is in the White House.

The primary goodwill became more tense as the president noticed how he “did not like” Kareni, Justin Trudeau, as well as “the person who worked with him” – a veiled sign to the former Minister of Trade and Finance Christia Frieland, who helped negotiate the USMCA trade deal in the first Trump term.

“She was a terrible person, and she really hurt this deal very badly,” Trump said.

He also struck what he claimed to be the “unequal” economic relationship between the two countries: “Canada works with us a lot with us more than we do with Canada.

“They have a surplus with us, and there is no reason to support Canada. Canada is a place that we must be able to take care of itself economically.”

Later, Carney drew his visit to Washington as a start to a potential reset in the relations that were strained under his predecessor – which Trump referred to as “ruler”.

He told reporters on the surface of the Canadian embassy. “(But) We have a lot of work to do.”

He admitted that he was behind the closed doors, he told Trump to stop reference to Canada as country 51. He said: “I was very clear. It was clear again in the Oval Office.”

However, when he was asked what he was thinking about listening to the president, he describes the borders between the two countries as “this artificially drawn line … Someone drew this line several years ago with a ruler”, he smiled shortly and answered: “I am happy because you cannot tell what was going through my mind.”
