Trump sends message to Quebec separatist leader after election win

On Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump congratulated Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon on Truth Social, 22 days after the Parti won the Oct 5 provincial election.
Trump's post included an Irish Times article claiming the Parti victory was a blow to Mark Carney, referencing the sovereigntist party's recent electoral success.
St-Pierre Plamondon previously congratulated Trump for his 2024 victory, though he criticized opponents for capitalizing on fear regarding the American president and his tariffs.
The United States and Canada remain locked in a trade war, though Trump stated this week the conflict could end "pretty soon" and that Canada was "willing to give us anything at this moment."
With the United States heading into midterms on Nov 3, St-Pierre Plamondon previously stated he would delay his promised referendum on Quebec independence until after Trump leaves the White House in 2029.
