Out of town pool report 5: Trump-Carney bilat

The pool entered the room at 9:34, where Trump and Carney were standing alongside each other

Carney welcomed Trump to Canada and wished him a belated birthday, as well as acknowledged the US Army's birthday.

Trump then said they would be "talking about trade and many other things."

He also lamented that Russia is no longer part of the G7: "The G7 used to be the G8," he said, adding it was "a very big mistake" to exclude Russia and that keeping them in the group might have prevented the current war with Ukraine.

On what's holding up a trade deal with Canada: "We have different concepts, I have a tariff concept"

"l'm a tariff person"

"I think Mark has a more complex idea but also very good"

On if a trade deal with Canada is achievable within weeks: "Yeah, it's achievable"

On Iran wanting to deescalate: "They'd like to talk but they should've done that before"

"They have to make a deal and it's painful for both parties but I'd say Iran is not winning this war"

On the US getting involved militarily: "I don't want to talk about that "

Pool was ushered out at 9:42, more topics and quotes to come
