Carney Shrugs Off Trump's 'Nasty' Remark, Focuses on Trade Talks
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sidestepped US President Donald Trump's remark that Canada is 'nasty', focusing instead on trade negotiations and economic investment.
When asked about Trump's comment, Carney said communication with the president remains open, but Ottawa is more interested in discussing trade agreements than responding to personal attacks.
The Canadian negotiating team, led by Dominic LeBlanc and Kirsten Hillman Charette, is engaged in talks with US officials, and Carney emphasized that Canada's economic strategy focuses on sustainability and creating opportunities for exports.
Canada has signed over 20 agreements worldwide, and its economy continues to grow, with Canadian workers experiencing job growth at twice the rate of their US counterparts.
