US President Donald Trump said he would rather work with the Liberal Party leader in Canada to resolve a trade war he instigated with Ottawa, weighing in on an expected national election in the neighboring North American country.
Trump in an interview on Fox News on Tuesday was pressed by host Laura Ingraham about polls that show the ruling Liberal Party of Prime Minister Mark Carney now ahead of the Conservatives, who are led by Pierre Poilievre. An election is likely to happen soon, and it will come after the US imposed tariffs on its largest trading partner and threatened more levies in April in an escalating fight that has roiled the northern country.
