It was another surreal moment in the bizarre relationship between President Donald Trump and new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, staunch political opponents who nonetheless seem to have a genuine affection for each other — at least when face to face.
Carney was in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to meet with the president in his first foreign trip as an elected prime minister. Given that Carney won Canada’s April 28 federal election largely by vowing to stand up to Trump, a little tension might have been expected at the White House news conference.
Carney insisted that Trump must stop alluding to Canada as the 51st state if negotiations are to proceed unimpeded.
Instead, Trump called Carney “a talented person.” Carney described Trump as “a transformational president.”
