President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is eager to pursue a trade agreement and is planning a trip to the White House in the coming days.
Trump shared that he and Carney spoke by phone on Tuesday, during which the Canadian leader thanked him and discussed moving forward on trade following his election victory on Monday.
“He called me up yesterday — he said let’s make a deal,” Trump told the press following a nationally broadcast Cabinet session.
Trump described the conversation as warm and cordial, saying Carney “couldn’t have been nicer and I congratulated him.” He noted that the Canadian prime minister is expected to arrive at the White House within a week.
Commenting on the Canadian election results, Trump remarked that the outcome “sends a very mixed signal because it’s almost even, which makes it very complicated for the country. It’s [a] pretty tight race.”
