Conservative MP Jivani says Trump gave him a message for Canadians during Washington trip

Jivani is longtime friends with U.S. Vice-President JD Vance

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says he met with Trump administration officials on Wednesday as he visits the United States capital on an independent trip billed as an effort to improve Canada-U.S. trade relations.

Jivani said U.S. President Donald Trump gave him a message to share with fellow Canadians.

"Productive meetings today with the White House and State Department. The President asked me to pass along a message: 'Tell the Canadians I love them.' I'll have much more to say later," the Ontario MP said in a post on X.

We need to show we don't care what he says or thinks.
