Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada and US President Donald Trump are very different people with very different ideas — and yet they managed to look like old football buddies today as they sat before reporters in the White House.
Trump called Carney a “world-class leader,” “a good man,” and added finally that the PM is “a nice man but he can be nasty” (which was clearly also intended as a compliment.) Carney rolled out a long list of flatteries, claimed that Trump had brought peace to the world, and thanked him for overhauling immigration.
