Prime Minister Mark Carney says he had several informal discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump during the G7 summit, despite not having a scheduled bilateral meeting.
When asked by a reporter in France on June 17 why the two men did not hold a formal bilateral meeting, Carney replied, “I wouldn’t take a big message from that.”
