Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time this morning.

Carney’s office says the leaders agreed to begin “comprehensive negotiations” to be led by Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

In the meantime, Carney will get back on the campaign trail, his office says.

Carney has a news conference scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, after he meets with provincial and territorial leaders.

In a social media post, Trump said the two “agree on many things.”

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is still in B.C., where he pitched life sentences for fentanyl traffickers and gunrunners.-

I don't think being able to woo the toddler is a skill that should be underrated. You can wave keys in the baby's face and still work on new international trade agreements, this doesn't mean Carney is gonna sell out Canada. While I have some issues with him, I think Starmer is another leader that's been doing a very good job handling Trump. Yeah, the whole "Letter from the King" thing was stupid and a little embarassing for him, but it was a lot more embarassing for Trump, and Trump ate that shit up. I think it's very promising for Carney's success as a leader if he's able to do something similar.
