Overview

• During remarks at the Summit for Peace in Sharm el‑Sheikh, Egypt, President Donald Trump referred to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as “president.”
• After the speech, a hot mic captured Carney joking, “I’m glad you upgraded me to president,” and Trump replying, “At least I didn’t call you a governor.”
• The quip referenced Trump’s past jab at former Canadian leader Justin Trudeau, which resurfaced in coverage of the moment.
• Clips of the exchange circulated widely as part of broader reporting on Trump’s address and unscripted interactions with world leaders.
• The friendly back‑and‑forth followed an Oval Office meeting last week where the two praised each other, reflecting an easing public rapport alongside ongoing U.S.–Canada trade talks.
