Trump says ‘nice gentleman’ Carney will visit White House within the next week [Video]

U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit the White House “within the next week or less” as the two countries chart a new way forward following a federal election that was largely seen as a rebuke of the president’s trade war and his 51s state ambitions.

“He called me up yesterday and said, ‘Let’s make a deal.'”
