Trump’s call with Carney shows possible change in trade war

By Brian Zinchuk

In what is the most positive words from President Donald Trump with regards to Canada since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went to Mar-a-lago last December, Trump posted a positively glowing note on his Truth Social account Friday morning.

He said on March 28, “I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. 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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Notably, he did not refer to Carney as “governor,” but “Prime Minister.” He made no reference to Canada becoming the “51st state.” But he also made no reference to stopping the imposition of tariffs in the coming days.
