Trump says he had productive call with Canadian PM Carney

1. US President Donald Trump had a productive call with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, discussing topics such as politics and business. The two leaders plan to meet after Canada’s upcoming election, which is scheduled for April 28, to work on issues that will benefit both countries. Trump expressed optimism about the meeting, stating that it will yield great results for both the US and Canada. The call comes amid increased tensions between the two neighboring allies, who have traditionally been close trading partners but have seen relations deteriorate under Trump’s presidency.

2. Trump’s word means nothing.

3. It doesn’t matter what he says because the things he does are decided for him by others.

4. This is the saddest, most destructive IR episode I’ve ever seen. Literally could have worked with Canada on real free trade, real freedom of movement and an integrated armed forces and solved every single problem without a threat or any other BS. Or threatened loss of sovereignty. Grownups could have done the same thing with Mexico. No costs, more profits. Now it’ll be a generation (if ever), we can have that productive discussion.

5. I know I’m shouting into the wind here, but what Trump is doing is idiotic. Tariffs are stupid enough, but announcing them and then cancelling them and then announcing them again is truly stupid.

   Businesses can plan around almost anything, as long as there’s advanced notice and certainty. The chaos of announcing these huge changes at the last minute and then cancelling and uncancelling them is impossible to plan for, and shooting US businesses in the foot.

6. –Translation from TrumpSpeak–

   ‘They sounded very nice, and said many many nice things about me personally, but the details were boring, so I will call it “productive” despite not having anything specific to brag and foam at the mouth about’

   –What really happened–

   He got his ass handed to him, but they used big words so he doesn’t realize it yet.

7. He agreed to meet with Carney after the election. This suggests he knows Carney will win.

8. As an American, to me, the more interesting opinion of the call would be to know what Carney thought of it. I.e., it would be nice to get the perspective of a thinking, intelligent, non-blowhard adult.

9. Well if Trump said that, then it went miserably. The man lies like we breathe air.

10. Anything that man baby says is verbal garbage & a waste of consciousness.

11. Seems like Trump had someone else write the summary as maybe he got extreme negative feedback after the Trudeau calls because it actually made conservatives in Canada extra unpopular. So suddenly all the politicians who supported Trump couldn’t do so openly anymore without losing some votes. Some of them even started to fight USA on tariffs which is useless for him. Now both the 2 big parties are fighting Trump.

    Trump called him prime minister and overall is polite. Likely seeing where this all is going. Trump is extremely unpopular outside USA so anytime he attacks a politician outside USA that politician becomes more popular. In USA of course quite a few who get the Trump nod end up getting nominated by Republicans,

    Overall this is a huge win for Canada. But let’s see if Trump can change the election outcome now. A lot of people started abandoning the conservatives and this may be too late.

12. Was this the same kind of call where “lots of people” invited us to Greenland? Or the type of call like with Putin where he says everything is great, but Putin keeps bombing stuff?
