U.S. President Donald Trump has privately congratulated Mark Carney on his victory in Canada's federal election, according to the Canadian Prime Minister's Office. While Trump has not made a public statement about the results, he agreed to meet with Carney in the near future. The election was marked by Trump's criticism of Canada's economy and sovereignty. In the U.S., Democrat lawmakers celebrated Carney's win, but most Republicans have remained silent. The response highlights ongoing political tensions and the significance of U.S.-Canada relations following the election.
Funny how Trump’s quick to congratulate Carney in private but can’t publicly support a leader who actually wants to put people and the planet before corporate profits.
Honestly, good on Trump for putting aside politics and reaching out to Carney, since stable U.S.-Canada relations are key for both economies. Regardless of party, leaders should prioritize open markets and pragmatic cooperation—ideology shouldn’t get in the way of trade and prosperity.

It’s telling that Trump congratulated Carney in private but can’t bring himself to say anything public about a progressive win next door—guess he can’t risk upsetting his MAGA base by acknowledging Canada’s choice for real leadership.
