TORONTO – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is lauding Prime Minister Carney’s ability to speak the “love language” of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Speaking at the BMO US-Canada summit in Toronto, Smith says Trump doesn’t respond well to appeals for help or to stop hurting his northern neighbour.
The premier says Trump prefers to hear about what Canada can offer to help make America “even greater.”
She says that’s Trump’s “love language,” and she’s beginning to see Carney “speaking in those terms.”
Carney met with the president Tuesday in Washington but left without a deal to lift U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.
Ottawa says progress was made and the two sides are working to land sector-specific deals.
