“He is the one who hated Trump, I think, the least who won,” the American president of Carney said on Wednesday, whose party had just preserved power by winning the pure and simple majority of seats in the general elections of Canada.
The Canadian Prime Minister can however accept to be the least of two ailments in Trump’s mind. The American president also said that he thought that the former governor of the Bank of England “could not have been more pleasant” during the first post-electoral telephone conversation.
The two men should meet in the White House in next week.
For Trump, politics is often personal. Trump’s disgust for former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was practically palpable from the first day of the American president in 2017.
Carney heads for his first full mandate with a slightly cleaner list in the treatment of the American president, but it will always be a precarious situation.
“We will have a partnership according to our conditions,” said Carney to the BBC on Tuesday. “I would distinguish between what the president wants and what he expects.”
Carney continued by saying that Trump’s “territorial opinions” on his country “will never happen”
