President Donald Trump said on Friday that he spoke with Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, during an “extremely productive call” shortly after Carney said that Canada’s “old relationship” with the United States “is over.”

Trump and Carney spoke over the phone as the two neighboring countries seek an agreement on fair trade. The president said he would meet with Carney after Canada holds its election at the end of April. Carney won the spot at the top of the Liberal Party after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down amid rising tensions with the Trump administration.

“I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada. It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States of America and Canada. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

During a press conference on Thursday, Carney vowed to “fight the U.S. tariffs with retaliatory trade actions of our own that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impacts here in Canada.” The prime minister faces Conservative Pierre Poilievre in the country’s upcoming election as both parties attempt to firmly push back on Trump’s tariffs. Canadian consumers and workers will likely take the brunt of U.S. tariffs as 75% of Canadian exports go to the United States, according to Reuters.

Carney said that through negotiations with the White House, it will be possible to “restore some trust” between the trade partners, but he added that Canada “will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere.”

“And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven’t seen in generations,” the prime minister added.

Along with imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, Trump has repeatedly suggested making Canada the 51st state and often taunted former Prime Minister Trudeau by calling him “governor.” On Thursday, Trump also threatened that Canada and the European Union would be hit with tariffs “far larger than currently planned” if they seek “to do economic harm to the USA.”
