Prime Minister Mark Carney said he had a “very good” conversation with the U.S. President Donald Trump as the two leaders met at a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung.
“A very good conversation. Always pleasant,” Carney said when asked by Global News’ Mackenzie Gray how dinner was and whether he chatted with Trump at all.
The two pointed and smiled at one another as they sat down to dinner together in South Korea Tuesday.

Both leaders are attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum this week in South Korea. They’re among a small group of leaders invited to a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung.
