President Trump reacted to the Canadian Prime Minister election results on Wednesday during a cabinet meeting and announced that the new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, wants to make a deal with the United States amid tensions over tariffs.
The President has had a contentious relationship with Canada since his tariffs were imposed on February 1, roughly one week after Inauguration Day. He has said that Canada should become the 51st state if they can’t afford tariffs.
Trump’s tariffs led to backlash from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who responded by threatening his own tariffs on the United States, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who recently vowed to “inflict as much pain as possible on the American people.”.
However, on Wednesday, Trump announced that Carney is “going to come to the White House very shortly, within the next week,” after calling the President and saying, “let’s make a deal.”
This comes as Trump has reiterated his interest in making Canada the 51st state.
During a recent Time Magazine interview, Trump said he’s “really not trolling” about acquiring Greenland and making Canada the 51st state.
“We lose $200 to $250 billion a year supporting Canada. And I asked a man who I called Governor Trudeau, I said, ‘Why? Why do you think we’re losing so much money supporting you? Do you think that’s right?’” Trump said.
“We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Mark Carney defeated conservative Pierre Poilievre and New Democrat Jagmeet Singh in the national elections on Monday.
Poilievre couldn’t keep his mouth shut about hating Trump, which cost him the election. “I actually think the conservative hated me much more than the so-called liberal,” Trump said of the election.
Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to crack down on free speech in his latest campaign stop in Hamilton, Canada, worrying many that he will be no better than Marxist Justin Trudeau.
Still, Trump called him a “very nice gentleman,” with whom he’s going to have a “great relationship.”
“he’s going to come to the White House very shortly, within the next week,” Trump said.
Watch:
Trump: I think we’re gonna have a great relationship. He called me up yesterday and said, let’s make a deal. He was running for office. They were both— they both hated trump, and it was the one that hated trump, i think, the least that won. I actually think the conservative hated me much more than the so-called liberal; he’s a pretty liberal guy.
But no, i spoke to him yesterday, couldn’t have been nicer. And I congratulated him. You know, it was a very mixed signal because it’s almost even, which makes it very complicated for the country. That’s pretty tight race, but he’s a very nice gentleman, and he’s going to come to the White House very shortly, within the next week.
