U.S. President Donald Trump’s goal of enhancing American power aligns with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s aim of making Canada’s economy the fastest-growing in the G7, Trump’s envoy to Canada said Friday.

“It’s going to continue to be a very strong and friendly relationship,” Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday, adding the two leaders are in frequent contact.
