"He called me up yesterday - he said let's make a deal," Mr Trump told reporters at the White House, after a televised Cabinet meeting.
Mr Trump said Mr Carney "couldn't have been nicer and I congratulated him."
He said the Canadian leader would come to the White House within a week.
Mr Trump said this week's Canadian election sends a "very mixed signal because it's almost even, which makes it very complicated for the country. It's pretty tight race." REUTERS
