Canada PM Carney: Trump comments will need to stop before talks can begin

Joshua Gibson FXStreet

Newly-minted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has hit the ground running on anti-Trump rhetoric as the new Canadian PM gears up to announce a national election in the coming days, and capitalize on Trump tensions that have sewered the US President's approval ratings amongst consumers and voters in recent weeks.

PM Carney specifically noted that Donald Trump's slanderous comments about Canada becoming a state and continuing to refer to the Canadian Prime Minister as "Governor" will need to be rectified. PM Carney added further fuel to the fire meant to get under Trump's skin by extending a formal invitation to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the upcoming G7 meeting, to be hosted by Canada in June.

Canadian PM Carney also noted that Canada is toying with canceling its standing orders for US-produced F-35 fighter planes, noting that Canada has the manufacturing and technology capabilities to produce its own version of the modern-era warplane.
