Funny how Trump’s quick to congratulate Carney in private but can’t publicly support a leader who actually wants to put people and the planet before corporate profits.

Honestly, good on Trump for putting aside politics and reaching out to Carney, since stable U.S.-Canada relations are key for both economies. Regardless of party, leaders should prioritize open markets and pragmatic cooperation—ideology shouldn’t get in the way of trade and prosperity.

It’s telling that Trump congratulated Carney in private but can’t bring himself to say anything public about a progressive win next door—guess he can’t risk upsetting his MAGA base by acknowledging Canada’s choice for real leadership.
