"Vance tells audience at private event that Carney tried to 'out-tough' Trump on trade
Also says Canada has 'shifted in Trumpian direction'
U.S. Vice-President JD Vance weighed in on the latest trade deal with Canada at a fundraising event Wednesday, saying Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to "out-tough" U.S. President Donald Trump while crediting his longtime friend, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, as a helpful advocate for Canada.
In audio from the fundraiser in Southampton, N.Y., provided to The Canadian Press by a source who attended the private function, Vance said Carney is a "very sweet guy" and said he gets along with him quite well."
