Donald Trump and Mark Carney have had a friendly

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.419
visit at the White House, but the U .S. President

00:00:11.419 --> 00:00:14.240
is sticking by his plan to keep the tariffs on

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.760
Canadian imports. Trump commented he had a lot

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.460
of respect for Carney and suggested he liked

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.519
him much more than Justin Trudeau and Chrystia

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.320

hikers reported missing on Sunday afternoon,

00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.350

00:00:42.649 --> 00:00:45.250
fell down a snow -filled gully on Hat Mountain,

00:00:45.609 --> 00:00:49.939
