Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is asked, in French, about relations with the US and Trump, APA reports citing BBC.
He replies, also in French, that he is "fully able to stand up" to the US president.
But he says there are conditions to the relationship. Trump has to recognise that Canada is a sovereign country – "he has to say it and accept it."
Carney says Trump needs to do that before they have a broader discussion on a trade agreement.
The two leaders haven't spoken yet since Carney was sworn in nine days ago.
That's the end of the news conference. We'll bring you a recap of all the key lines shortly.
