OTTAWA - The world was watching when Prime Minister Mark Carney met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday. Here's a sample of what politicians and other prominent figures are saying: —- 'It sounds like the prime minister and the president had a very productive meeting … Hopefully, through this meeting with the president and the prime minister, we'll be able to rekindle our great relationship.' — Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Fox News —- 'I think Prime Minister Carney has his work cut out for him, as we saw in the opening press conference with the president. I'm really hopeful that behind closed doors they'll be able to have a meeting of the minds and come out with an agreement to restart the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement negotiations. 'I'm just as hopeful as anyone else that they're able to have a reset on the relationship. I don't think it's any secret that the relationship with the prior prime minister was very poor and I think led to a lot of the challenges that we've had over the last five or six months. So we'll see if Prime Minister Carney can reset that in the meeting he has today and I'm hopeful that he can.' — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith —- 'The Trump meeting showed that Carney is an adult.

Our jobs. Our plants. Our mills. Our economy. Our country.' — Lana Payne, national president of Unifor —- 'Mark Carney's 'as you know from real estate, some places will never be for sale' — very well handled. Trump's 'never say never' was very revealing. Nobody yelling about having the cards here. Firm response delivered by Canada without losing our cool. 'We also found out that (Canada's) USMCA negotiator Chrystia Freeland still* lives rent free in Trump's head.' — Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association —- 'Very proud to be Canadian watching PM @MarkJCarney represent our country confidently, with moral clarity, and with diplomacy and grace.' — Benjamin Perrin, law professor at the University of British Columbia —- 'PM @MarkJCarney was outstanding today.

'Senseless, shocking act of violence': Canadian PM Mark Carney condemns Pahalgam terror attack
As the world united in its condemnation against the Phalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, mostly tourists and left many more injured, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that he was "horrified" by the "senseless" and "shocking act of violence". Sharing his grief in a post on social media platform X, Mark Carney said, I am horrified by the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, a senseless and shocking act of violence that has killed and injured innocent civilians and tourists. Canada strongly condemns this terrorist attack. We offer our condolences to the victims and their families" — MarkJCarney (@MarkJCarney) 5 5 Next Stay Playback speed 1x Normal Back 0.25x 0.5x 1x Normal 1.5x 2x 5 5 / Skip Ads by by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Meanwhile, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun has condemned the terrorist attack and expressed opposition to all forms of terrorism. While addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Guo Jiakun expressed sympathy to the bereaved families and the injured. Live Events When asked about the attack in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, he responded, "China noted the reports. We strongly condemn the attack. China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism. We mourn for the lives lost and express sincere sympathies to the bereaved families and the injured." On Wednesday, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) held a high-level meeting to review the overall security situation in the country, with a specific focus on the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The committee directed all security forces to maintain high vigilance and take all necessary measures to prevent future attacks. The CCS resolved that the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack will be brought to justice, and their sponsors will be held accountable for their actions. The government reiterated its commitment to pursuing those who have committed acts of terror or conspired to make them possible, citing the recent extradition of Tahawwur Rana as an example of its unwavering stance against terrorism. The CCS met on Wednesday evening under the Chairmanship of the Prime Minister. The CCS was briefed in detail on the terrorist attack on 22 April 2025 in Pahalgam, in which 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen were killed and a number of others sustained injuries. The CCS condemned the attack in the strongest terms and expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and hoped for the early recovery of the injured. Recognising the seriousness of this terrorist attack, the CCS decided that the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 will be held in abeyance with immediate effect until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism. The Integrated Check Post Attari will be closed immediately. Those who have crossed over with valid endorsements may return through that route before 01 May 2025.
