Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend as trade talks between Canada and the United States ramp up and global stability is roiled by the war in Iran.

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said the two leaders held a conversation on a “range of issues” on March 8. Topics covered included the economy, developments in the Middle East, and bilateral trade relations.
