On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held discussions on trade and investment relations between their nations. According to a statement from the prime minister’s office, both leaders stressed the importance of maintaining North America's economic strength while upholding each country's sovereignty.
Carney reaffirmed his commitment to countering unfair trade measures against Canada, safeguarding Canadian businesses and workers, and boosting the nation's economy through enhanced trade relations with Mexico.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump is set to reveal his full trade policy agenda on Wednesday, which he has termed "Liberation Day." The policy is expected to introduce new protectionist measures.
Carney has previously warned Trump that Canada will impose retaliatory tariffs if U.S. trade actions threaten Canadian economic interests. The White House has stated that Trump's planned reciprocal tariffs aim to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and could take effect immediately.
