OTTAWA (Reuters) - New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday he was available for a call with U.S. President Donald Trump but would do so "on our terms as a sovereign country".

Carney was elected leader of the ruling Liberal Party on March 9, automatically becoming prime minister. Calls with the U.S. president traditionally take place soon afterwards but the two men have yet to speak.
