Who is Mark Kareni?Mark Carne is a prominent economist and banker who was the head of the Canadian Central Bank and then the Bank of England before entering politics. He is a respectable face in international circles because of his deep understanding of the global economy and a successful track record in managing financial crises. In the recent election, he was elected as the new Prime Minister of Canada under the slogan "maintaining national sovereignty" and economic reform.
The beginning of the meeting with the definition and praiseDonald Trump began the meeting with the praise of the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and said:
"I think Canada has chosen a very talented person ..."
While many foreign leaders enter the elliptical office to attract Trump's opinion, it was Trump who, in an effort to applies to Kareni - a person who has the history of the two major central banks (Canada and Britain).

But Mark Carney - who emphasized Canada's political and economic independence, responded to widespread support in the elections:
"In the past few months with the Canadian people, one thing was clear: Canada is not a sale."

"There is no reason for us to subsidize Canada ..."
Kareni, who has repeatedly defended the balanced role of free trade in international circles, had a significant silence against these words - a silence that somehow reflects the depth of the differences of views.
Trying to rebuild relationshipsDespite these tensions, Carney said:
"I feel better about relationships. But there is a lot of work left. "

This clever reaction has once again shown that Caren is not only a professional technocrat but also a shrewd politician.
