“It’s a good thing I didn’t call you Governor…” Trump said when Carney reminded him of the mistake.

New Delhi: An interesting hot mic incident between US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during the Gaza Peace Conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, has caught everyone’s attention. It offered a glimpse into the relationship between the two countries as well as the leaders’ personal interactions.

Donald Trump mistakenly referred to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly as “President” during the conference. Known for his outspoken style, Trump urged national and international leaders to end the conflict in Gaza and increase efforts for lasting peace. It was during this address that Trump made the gaffe.

After the conference, Trump and Carney were caught on camera laughing and smiling. Carney jokingly remarked, “I’m glad you made me President.”

“Well, at least I didn’t call you Governor.”
Trump smiled and replied, “Did I… say that? At least I didn’t call you Governor.” Trump said this because he used to call former Canadian President Justin Trudeau “Governor.”

Trump-Carney Spotlight on Social Media
This humorous exchange immediately went viral on social media and was well-received by both the audience and delegates. TV channels repeatedly aired clips of the incident, showing both leaders laughing heartily.

Experts said such lighthearted interactions are effective in strengthening diplomatic relations. Carney became Prime Minister in March this year, and this was his first major international meeting.
