Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump have agreed to meet in person soon, following Carney’s recent election victory.

According to a readout from the Canadian Prime Minister’s Office, Carney spoke with Trump on Tuesday, a day after Canada’s parliamentary elections, which were shaped by concerns over U.S. tariffs and annexation threats.

The leaders emphasized the importance of Canada and the United States collaborating as independent and sovereign nations, according to the official statement.

Carney repeatedly mentioned the state of Canada-U.S. relations in his victory speech, highlighting the challenges posed by tense interactions with the U.S. during the campaign.

The Liberal Party, led by Carney, secured a closely contested election win, aided in part by a nationalist response to recent rhetoric from President Trump. Carney declared, “We will build an independent future for our great country,” during his early morning address to supporters.

As of 3 a.m. local time, the Liberals had won 150 seats and were leading in 17 more, potentially bringing them to 167—just six seats shy of a majority in the 343-member House of Commons. In the previous parliament, they held 152 seats.

The opposition Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, conceded defeat after winning 132 seats and leading in 13 others, potentially totaling 145.

Meanwhile, the National Democratic Party (NDP), led by Khalistan sympathizer Jagmeet Singh, suffered significant losses. The NDP secured just five seats and led in two more, with Singh himself losing his seat.
