Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he had “very constructive discussions” on Tuesday with Donald Trump at the White House and assured that they agreed to continue the dialogue.
-“We agreed to continue our discussions in the coming weeks and look forward to being in person at the G7 summit,” said in June in Canada, said the new Canadian leader at a press conference in Washington, shortly after his meeting with the President.
51st state of the United States
