Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on June 22 and the two discussed the situation in the Middle East after Trump ordered strikes on Iran’s nuclear program.

In a post on social media early on June 23, Carney said the two leaders “focused on de-escalating the conflict in the Middle East” during the call. The call took place before Iran attacked U.S. interests in the region.
