‘Get up, governor’: Trump takes shot at PM Carney with hockey cartoon
Trump mocked Mark Carney with a hockey cartoon and repeated his “governor” jab as Canada prepared retaliatory tariffs on more than 700 U.S. goods.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump shared a hockey cartoon on Truth Social depicting him standing over Prime Minister Mark Carney, captioning the image "Get up, Governor."
- Canada's retaliatory tariffs on more than 700 U.S. products worth $27.6 billion take effect Tuesday, responding to 50% tariffs the Trump administration placed on Canada in late August after trade talks collapsed.

- Earlier on Sunday, Trump labeled Canada's exchange rate with the U.S. "unacceptable," stating it has "been that way for years." The rhetoric underscores deepening economic friction between the two allies.
