Overview
- In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, President Donald Trump referred to Prime Minister Mark Carney as the “future governor of Canada.”
- Trump said he is working with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer to combat invasive Asian carp in the Great Lakes and invited other U.S. governors to join.
- The post also claimed separate efforts to address the shrinking Great Salt Lake in Utah.
- Carney’s office reported a recent call with Trump covering the economy, developments in the Middle East, and bilateral trade, with a commitment to stay in close contact.
- Trade frictions persist after last year’s Liberation Day tariffs, and Trump previously warned in January of a 100% tariff on Canadian goods if Canada makes a deal with China.
