‘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.
  • The post echoes Trump's repeated suggestion that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, a rhetorical pattern he previously applied to former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
  • Carney has not responded to the president's comments as of Sunday night, while facing mounting pressure from U.S. officials including Hegseth targeting North American trade policies.
  • 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.
