Photo Gallery: Carney meets with Trump in Washington

By Canadian Press on October 7, 2025.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday Canadians will “love” America again and Prime Minister Mark Carney would walk away “very happy” from their working meetings in the U.S. capital.

In a rambling press conference with Carney in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump mused about everything from his dislike of former U.S. President Joe Biden to his hatred of windmills — but only offered hints on trade.

When reporters asked Trump why he thought the Canadian delegation would leave Washington happy, the president refused to explain.

“Well, you’ll find out, but I think the people of Canada, they will love us again,” Trump said. “Most of them still do. I assume a lot of them, I think they love us.”

Carney largely ceded the press conference to Trump, who appeared to be in good spirits as he joked around.

The president offered some vague but encouraging signals, but persisted with his inflammatory trade rhetoric and even joked again about making Canada a U.S. state.

Here are some scenes from the press conference.
