CALGARY, Alberta — President Donald Trump wore two pins on his suit on Monday: one a simple American flag and the other an American flag attached to a Canadian one — a harbinger of sorts of a warmer partnership after Trump spent months suggesting Canada would be better off ditching its flag altogether.
“We’ve developed a very good relationship,” the president said during a bilateral meeting to kick off the G7 in the Canadian Rockies. “I think we’re going to accomplish a lot and I expect to.”
Gone were Trump’s calls for Canada to become the 51st state, a demand that upset his relationship with Canada’s former leader.
