Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney quoted a story about a gift from 'another great leader'—a key to the White House—and joked that it would either get him in or get him shot. The anecdote, posted on Telegram by an Israeli right-wing channel, appears to mock President Trump's style and self-image.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, in remarks circulating on an Israeli right-wing the source Monday afternoon, recounted receiving a key to the White House as a gift from "another great leader" about a year and a half ago. Carney quoted the unnamed figure as saying the key was "very special" and "unique," and that it would either get Carney admitted to the White House or result in his being shot. The anecdote appears to parody President Donald Trump's well-known anecdote about being given a key to the White House by a foreign leader, a story Trump has told at rallies and in interviews. The channel did not specify the venue or date of Carney's remarks. No official response from the White House or the Canadian government has been reported. The incident adds a diplomatic undercurrent to the already complex US-Canada relationship under the Trump administration.
