Trump says he had fun calling Trudeau governor
Trump called the Canada-U.S. meeting today a “step up,” signalling both sides are happy with how it went and will keep talking.
Speaking at an afternoon event for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (which the U.S, Canada and Mexico will host), Trump was asked why he doesn’t call Carney “governor,” a title he had used to demean Trudeau.
“As far as calling him Governor Carney, no I haven’t done that yet and maybe I won’t. I did have a lot of fun with Trudeau,” he said.
“But I think this is a big step up. It’s a good step up for Canada.”
Trump said he watched Carney in the debates and thought he did “terrifically.”
“I like him. He’s a nice man. We get along very well. We had a great meeting today,” the president added.
“I think the relationship’s going to be very strong.”
