President Donald Trump offered warm words against the new Prime Minister of Canada, even while the two parties continue to trade the threats after Trump had imposed new rates on the import of cars.
Trump called a 'very good conversation' with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who said on Thursday that the 'old relationship' with the US is over. '
Trump wrote on Friday morning that the two men had an 'extremely productive call' and that 'we agree on many things'.
That was a change of many of his posts about former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who often mocks Trump as a 'governor' in the midst of his repeated public statements about making Canada the 51st.
Trump did not even mention the absorbing of the American northern neighbor when he was asked about the last tariff patter on Friday afternoon.
“We had talked a lot, very well,” he said, with the prime minister referring to his phone call in the morning.
'He is now going through an election and we will see what is happening. But we are – we have Liberation Day, as you know, on April 2, “Trump said – with the help of his sentence for the day he will impose 'mutual' rates on nations around the world.
'And I do not refer to Canada, but many countries have benefited from us, just like nobody who thought many, many decades possible, had been possible for decades. And you know, that has to stop. We are going to end with a very good relationship with Canada and many other countries, “said Trump.
“We are going to end with a very good relationship with Canada and many other countries,” said Trump, hours after a phone call with the new Canadian PM. He gave an order to save a rate of 25% on Wednesday
These comments seemed to eliminate Canada to get 'benefit' from the US, which is also a change of earlier rhetoric. Last week Trump said: 'Here is my problem with Canada … Canada was meant as the 51st state … We don't need their cars. We don't need their wood … we don't need their energy. We don't need anything. '
Trump brought 25 percent rates on Thursday at the import of car and light trucks. That led to Carney statements to hit back with trade actions. Trump said that the rates will only come into force on April 2, in theory, which offer the opportunity to roll them back.
During a trip to Greenland, a territory that Trump said that the US should have, Vice President JD Vance was asked how Americans should respond in the midst of the expected peak in car prices. “We must have it,” said Trump.
Vance, a former senator in Ohio, used the same language that Trump used when he burned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zensky in the Oval Office.
“They just don't have the cards,” Vance said.
“That means we go back, even to some of our friends and their unfair economic practices,” he said.
