Lip reader ‘reveals’ what Trump said to Canadian PM Mark Carney at FIFA World Cup draw, with instruction for Melania
During the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw ceremony in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump shared the stage with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. The event brought together the leaders of the three nations co-hosting the upcoming tournament.
A lip reader interpreted Trump’s comments during a performance by The Village People. According to the expert, Trump expressed his enjoyment to Prime Minister Carney, stating, “I love this,” while moving to the music.
The lip reader further suggested Trump encouraged the Canadian leader, saying, “Come on, they make me happy.” He also appeared to urge his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, to participate in the moment.
The lighthearted occasion occurred despite existing trade tensions between the countries, stemming from Trump’s tariff policies. Earlier, Trump told press the leaders were “getting along” and planned a future meeting.
Following the public draw ceremony, the three leaders held a private discussion without staff for approximately fifty minutes. A spokesperson for the Canadian leader emphasized the day focused on the World Cup and co-hosting opportunities.
The event also marked the first in-person meeting between President Trump and Mexico’s President Sheinbaum. This interaction came amid ongoing trade negotiations between the neighboring countries.
A U.S. trade official indicated the administration is considering separating the three-nation trade agreement. The official suggested dealing with Canada and Mexico individually, citing different economic relationships with each.
