President Donald Trump congratulated Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney following his victory in Canada’s general election on Monday. In a phone call Tuesday, Trump expressed his well-wishes and confirmed plans for a meeting at the White House next week. The two leaders are expected to discuss a potential new economic and security partnership.
He's a very nice gentleman and he's going to come to the White House very shortly, within the next week or less. I spoke to him yesterday, couldn't have been nicer and I congratulated him.

Despite recent tensions over trade tariffs and sovereignty concerns, both sides agreed on the importance of working together as independent nations for mutual benefit. Carney’s victory gives his Liberal Party a minority government, and talks between the U.S. and Canada are poised to center on strengthening bilateral ties.
