AI Minister Evan Solomon struggles to vote electronically during the US-Canada Summit
Dominic LeBlanc on why he's optimistic about the status of US trade talks: I had a sense that Ambassador Greer and his colleagues saw the progress that they have been looking for.
LeBlanc: We're not waiting for that process as an idle spectator. We have put before the United States, before President Trump, some very specific offers that we think are in the interest of the United States economy and the Canadian economy.

Albania's prime minister insists Trump family-linked coastal resort will proceed despite protests: It has never been a question if this will go ahead or not ... I'm telling you, it's going to be a beautiful project.

LeBlanc: President Trump is an experienced negotiator. He has a style that's unique to a category of one.
LeBlanc: President Trump ran an election campaign to impose tariffs. He won convincingly. And he's implementing the agenda that he told Americans he would if he was elected. So I'm always surprised when people are shocked that politicians keep their promises.
LeBlanc: American political leaders will prosecute their domestic American politics in the way they choose. Canada should not be emotionally vested in how American politicians speak to American voters.
Canadian Ambassador to the US Mark Wiseman: There is nothing at odds in our relationship with the US when the PM talks about our need to diversify. Because it's not diversification at the expense of our relationship with the US ... we can do both. It's not an "or."
Hoekstra: America has a tremendous amount of things where we have a need. Guess what? We need Potash.
Hoekstra: But if you need some [bourbon], send me your order and I'll see that you get some. I do know Canadians don't have much of a sense of humour, so I'm already in trouble.
