Despite Mark Carney’s awkward looks and struggles to get a word in during his Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump in the last few minutes, the US president has insisted the talks are “friendly”.
Trump referenced his row with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the same room earlier this year.
“We had a little blow up with somebody else – this is much different… this is friendly,” Trump said.

The leaders are now asked about the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which is the trade deal between those three countries.
Carney says the deal is a “basis for broader negotiation”.
Directing his comments to Donald Trump, the Canadian leader says: “Some things about it are going to have to change. And part of the way you’ve conducted these tariffs has taken advantage of existing aspects of USMCA. So it’s going to have to change. 
“There’s other elements that have come and that’s part of what we’re going to discuss.”
Away from the exchange itself between Donald Trump and Mark Carney, the US president has teased the press in the Oval Office with talk of a major announcement this week.
He said it would be made before he leaves on a scheduled trip to the Middle East.
But Trump declined to reveal exactly what it would be about, or even which topic it concerned.
Speaking in front of Carney, Trump said the announcement would be very positive and could come on Thursday, Friday or Monday. 
Trump’s administration has been negotiating trade deals with a number of countries, so it’s possible the announcement could be a trade deal.
But, as Trump might say, time will tell.
The US president moves on to tariff deals and says there is more money being invested in the country now.
On tariff deals with other countries, he says: “We don’t have to sign deals. We could sign 25 deals right now, but we don’t have to.
“They have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market. We don’t want a piece of their market. We don’t care about their market. They want a piece of our market.”
Trump adds: “Think of us as a major luxury store.”
 Mark Carney is asked about Donald Trump’s threat of making Canada a 51st state of the US.
“Some places are never for sale,” Carney replies, after looking awkward while Donald Trump speaks about Canada as a “real estate opportunity”.
“It’s not for sale and will never be for sale ever,” he adds.
“But the opportunity is in the partnership and what we can build together.”
Trump goes on to acknowledge “Canada is stepping up their military participation”, and then quips: “But never say never.”
Donald Trump and Mark Carney are now speaking to reporters from the Oval Office.
Trump begins by noting Carney’s election win in Canada and describes it as one of the “greatest comebacks in the history of politics”, adding: “Maybe even greater than mine.”
“I think I was probably one of the greatest things that happened to him,” he jokingly says.
Carney thanks Trump for his “hospitality and leadership” and adds he has been “elected to transform Canada”.
Asked what is the top concession for Canada, Trump says: “Friendship”.
Mark Carney has arrived at the White House and is greeted by Donald Trump.
The two leaders exchange brief words with each other before entering the building.
They are now headed for the Oval Office for talks.
Earlier, Carney said the meeting was a bid to reset a relationship that has been undermined by the US president’s tariffs and talk of annexation.
We’re still waiting for Mark Carney to arrive at the White House – he’s currently running around 20 minutes late.
Here is what will follow when he arrives: 
Donald Trump has said he does not understand why America is subsidising Canada in a statement on Truth Social.
The US leader said while he looked forward to meeting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney he did not think the US needed Canada’s cars, energy or lumber and questioned what he called Canadian reliance on the US.
Here is what he has said on Truth Social in the last few minutes – just before Carney’s scheduled arrival at the White House…
We’re live outside the White House, with US President Donald Trump expected to greet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shortly.
Then the pair will have talks in the Oval Office in front of the cameras, before further talks in private.
