New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc visited the Oval Office for the first time this week to join Prime Minister Mark Carney for a sit-down with President Donald Trump.
The topic of conversation was economics and LeBlanc said Trump was “very respectful and very interested” when Carney spoke — even when the cameras were off.
“That sort of constructive, cordial, businesslike tone continued after the public portion that people saw in the Oval Office,” said LeBlanc.
This was Carney’s first face-to-face meeting with Trump since his recent election win.
Trump was interested in what the two countries could do together to “deal with other global economic threats, obviously you can think of China,” said LeBlanc.
LeBlanc said Trump shared that he followed the Canadian election and watched Carney’s debate prior to election day.
