Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke Sunday afternoon in response to escalating global tensions as the Iran war continues to escalate and spread across the region.
The two discussed “the economy, developments in the Middle East, and trade relations between the two countries,” according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office.
The two also agreed to “remain in close contact.”
Also on Sunday, the Prime Minister’s Office said Carney gathered the Incident Response Group with ministers and senior officials to discuss the ongoing war in Iran and the Middle East.

The Incident Response Group reviewed potential changes “to the threat landscape in Canada and underlined the importance of continued vigilance to enhance domestic security,” the statement said.
It added that the meeting “focused on efforts to protect Canadians in the region and work with partners to de-escalate the conflict.”
“Canada was not consulted, did not participate, and has no plans to participate in the offensive actions against Iran that are being undertaken by the U.S. and Israel,” a separate statement by the Prime Minister’s Office reads.
“The initial conflict has spread widely as a result of attacks by Iran and its proxies on other countries across the broader Middle East.”
I wouldn’t mind seeing Dallas Brodie get a throat full of lead… She definitely deserves it after what she said about the residential schools
Charlie Kirk got what he deserved. Hopefully Trump is next
He’s not dumb. He just blames Carney for his sad pathetic life in Canada. Just like I blame Carney for the fact that I’m gay and I can’t get laid
Ben read the comments buddy. Apparently you’re blind and dumb
JV, nobody is blaming Carney for the war starting. You’re literally a ret ard.
Ped0 Trump supporters blaming Carney for the war Trump started. The definition freedumb fighters in Canada. Duhhhh everything is Carney’s fault because duhhhhh I said so duhhhhhhhh Carbon tax
Phillip Henry sorry bro I didn’t mean to call your boyfriend a coward. My bad
At least Randy uses his real name. I remember his Facebook profile here. The JV coward, not so much!
I guess debating whether or not our forces should enter this conflict isn’t worth his time.
Perhaps he could take off some of the 34% of the tax that makes up the price per litre of fuel
Randy Orr you should go tell him… Coward
So did Carnival Carney give Trump an earful for starting the war? Did he tell Trump that Canada should be suing him for the expense we are having to suffer for his arrogance?
Probably not… Carney probably told Trump that he backs the attacks, but cannot say so openly again.
