Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called US President Donald Trump a “transformative president,” and highlighted his contribution to the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

During bilateral talks at the White House, the Canadian leader noted Trump’s influence on global affairs and economic stability.

"You [i.e. Donald Trump] hosted me and some of my colleagues a few months ago, and I said at the time, 'You are a transformative president,'" Carney said in the Oval Office, as Trump nodded. "And since then, the transformation in the economy, unprecedented commitments of NATO partners to defend spending, peace from India-Pakistan, through to Azerbaijan-Armenia, disabling Iran as a force of terror, these were important."
