Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney accused President Donald Trump<\/a> of being “afraid” to make a sports bet on the upcoming World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s afraid to make a bet,” Carney joked<\/a> to The Associated Press on Thursday. “He doesn\u2019t like to lose. He hasn\u2019t called. He hasn\u2019t returned my call yet on the bet, so I\u2019m ready. We\u2019re ready to make a bet with the U.S.”<\/p>\n

Carney predicted the Blue Jays to win in six games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The country is so pumped. I think the world is pumped for this series,” Carney said. “It\u2019s going to go deep. It\u2019s going to be a great series. But we\u2019ve got depth, we\u2019ve got fire. You see the performance.”<\/p>\n

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if Trump does any sports betting during Thursday’s media briefing during a question about the FBI’s arrest of three NBA figures in a widespread illegal gambling probe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You know. I’m not sure. I don’t think he does. I’ve been with him quite some time and I’ve not seen him gamble before,” Leavitt said. “I don’t think he’s a big gambler.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
