Overview

• After the speech, a hot mic captured Carney joking, “I’m glad you upgraded me to president,” to which Trump replied, “At least I didn’t say governor.”
• The quip referenced Trump’s past jibes at former PM Justin Trudeau, whom he had previously labeled “governor” and linked to talk of a “51st state.”
• Reporters widely shared the clip from the Summit for Peace, held alongside a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and prisoner‑hostage exchanges.
• Coverage noted friendlier public rapport after recent Oval Office meetings, though tariff and trade negotiations between the two countries remain unresolved.
