Improved US-Canada relations? Trump claims Canadian Prime Minister will visit the US within a week
Agence France-Presse, Washington, 30th, reports that US President Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and threatened annexation, causing tension in US-Canada relations. However, Trump praised Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau today as "very friendly" and announced that Trudeau will visit the US within the next week.
According to AFP and other media reports, Trump told reporters, "He (Trudeau) is a very friendly gentleman, and he will come to the White House soon, probably within a week or even less time."
Reportedly, Trump congratulated Trudeau on winning the election and said that Trudeau had called him. Trump said, "He called me yesterday, and he said let's make an agreement."
Trudeau's Liberal Party recently won the federal election and will continue to govern. He vowed to defeat the US in the trade war initiated by Trump and stated that the mutually beneficial system established between Canada and the US since World War II "has ended."
Trump has repeatedly claimed that he hopes Canada will become the 51st state of the US, completely overturning the US-Canada relationship.
