OTTAWA, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump must stop making “disrespectful” comments about Canada before the two countries can start serious talks about future ties, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday.

“We’ve called out those comments. They’re disrespectful, they’re not helpful, and they … will have to stop before we sit down and have a conversation about our broader partnership with the United States,” Carney told reporters in London.

Trumps an absolute fucking embarrassment to America. No leader of any country should ever belittle a leader of another nation.

But he did it in his first time calling Kim Jong Un “Rocketman” so I’d expect nothing less from a convicted rapist and felon.

If he’s such an embarrassment, why’d they elect him twice? I’d say he represents them.

Because all our representation is an embarrassment. Most of us have stopped bothering its a fucking mess.

I’m glad he has this attitude. Not sure how effective it will be.

Carney really feels like we finally have an adult at the playground.

This was obviously discussed ahead of him making that comment in public. There’s no reason Carney as PM should sit down with American invaders if they keep up with that rhetoric. It gives Carney the power to keep making trade agreements all over the world and if the US wants to discuss anything with him, they can fully stop the offensive rhetoric. If they don’t - fine. Carney doesn’t need to meet with them. Trump already tore up CUSMA. Trunp’s signature on agreements is already worthless. Carney has nothing to lose by not meeting with him.
