An interesting ‘hot mic’ incident between US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during the Gaza Peace Conference held in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt has caught everyone’s attention. This incident gave a glimpse of the relations between the two countries as well as the personal interactions of the leaders.
Donald Trump mistakenly publicly addressed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as “President” during the summit. Trump, who is in the news for his outspoken style, addressed national and international leaders. Gaza Emphasized on increasing efforts to end the conflict and achieve lasting peace. It was during this address that Trump made this verbal mistake.
After the conference, Trump and Carney were recorded on camera laughing with each other. Carney said jokingly, “I’m glad you made me president.”
‘Well at least I didn’t call you Governor’
Trump responded with a smile, “Did I… say that? At least I didn’t say governor.” Trump said this because he used to call former Canadian President Justin Trudeau as ‘Governor’.
Trump-Carney discussed a lot on social media
This witty conversation instantly went viral on social media and was well received by the audience and delegates alike. TV channels repeatedly showed the clip of this incident, where both the leaders are seen laughing openly.
Experts said, such light-hearted dialogues are effective in strengthening relations in diplomacy. Carney became Prime Minister in March this year and this was his first major international meeting.
