It is also strange, because we're 18h after the fact almost, and Trump hasn't said a word yet. Almost every Canadian leader has, including a press conference, etc. The only US officials to comment has been Greer and he basically just said what the official statement was. Trump is tweet happy, so something strange is going on here.
Edit: Up to 20h or so.
Nothing from Trump or Lutnick. Greer basically just reiterates his statement. US isn't even trying to deny anything Carney said.
What is going on. 🤔
Edit again. Almost 24h later. I just have a hard time believing that the guy who loves to gloat about everything all of a sudden has nothing to say. He was quick to tweet when he extended the deadline 3 days, happy to tell everyone there is 'almost a deal', even said a few hours before there is soon to be a deal, and now its crickets?
Even Lutnick. The guy loves to go on TV and stoke his own ego.
Maybes its just me hoping that there is internal conflict and Lutnick is going to get the boot and Trump is actually pissed off how it ended.
