Trump and Canada’s PM Carney Set for High-Stakes First Meeting Amid Trade Tensions
In a meeting that could shape the future of North American relations, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to visit U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington next week.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that he and U.S. President Donald Trump will meet in Washington next Tuesday, following what he described as a “very constructive call” earlier this week. Carney emphasized the importance of the meeting, stating, “We are meeting as heads of our government,” and made clear his intent to defend Canadian interests: “My government will fight to get the best deal for Canada.”
While Carney acknowledged the importance of the dialogue, he tempered expectations, noting, “I’m not pretending those discussions will be easy,” in reference to recent trade tensions and Trump’s controversial remarks suggesting Canada could become the 51st U.S. state. The upcoming summit is expected to focus heavily on trade negotiations and redefining bilateral relations under Trump’s renewed presidency.
It will mark their first official encounter since Carney’s election and comes at a pivotal moment in a strained bilateral relationship.
