U.S. President Donald Trump used a seemingly joking reference to the term “governor” with Prime Minister Mark Carney during a recent summit of global leaders in Egypt. Trump said his error in addressing Carney as “president” during his speech was significantly better than referring to him as a “governor,” as he had called Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau.
The exchange was captured on a hot mic after Trump’s Oct. 14 speech during the summit that gathered more than 20 world leaders to finalize a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas.
