Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada arrived at the White House on Tuesday with a few clear objectives: to take heat out of his early encounters with President Trump, to avoid references to Canada becoming a 51st state, and to begin talks on steel and aluminum tariffs.
In other words, to revert to the old days, when Canada and the United States were the tightest of defense and intelligence allies, and somehow managed to keep their disputes over everything from dairy products to softwood lumber to automobiles on a separate track.
Watch Donald Trump abolish Mark Carney’s entire 8-month record in 30 seconds flat.
Trump: “There’s one very easy way to solve that problem…”
