Details: The article notes that while Carney and his delegation were primarily concerned with discussions about the "51st state" and Trump's strict tariffs, the U.S. President sought to address global issues such as the war in Ukraine, tensions with China, and the situation in Iran.

According to information provided by CBC News, Trump expressed a desire to hear Carney's perspective on these matters as he attempts to fulfill his campaign promise of swiftly ending the conflict in Ukraine and curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, which have proven particularly challenging for his administration.

Furthermore, the article mentions that Trump was interested in Carney's views on Israel and Gaza, as well as the Houthis in Yemen, although these topics received less attention during the meeting.

Word for word CBC News: "The fact that the President was interested in Carney's opinion on these issues is seen as a "promising sign" that Trump respects the new Canadian leader and considers him capable".
