Mark Carney embarks on economic negotiations with the U.S. as his administration settles in.
Four days post-election, Prime Minister Mark Carney articulated a clear roadmap for his administration. At a news conference on Friday, he disclosed plans to visit Washington on Tuesday to initiate negotiations with President Trump over pressing economic matters. Significant tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canadian exports, such as vehicles, steel, and aluminum, had been central to his campaign.
Trump, who has previously made controversial remarks about Canada's sovereignty, commended Carney as “a very nice gentleman” in their post-election conversation, though he noted tensions during the election season. As negotiations loom, the dynamics of this partnership will be closely watched amid ongoing trade battles and geopolitical tensions.
