Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington next week to address rising trade tensions and future relations.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will travel to Washington next Tuesday for what he expects will be “difficult but constructive” talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, whom he has accused of trying to "break Canada."
Carney said the meetings with Trump and senior U.S. officials will focus on immediate trade tensions — particularly tariffs — as well as the long-term direction of the bilateral relationship.
Trump has imposed tariffs on several Canadian goods, prompting Carney to describe the U.S. actions as a betrayal. He has also called for Canada to reduce its reliance on the U.S., which currently accounts for 75% of Canadian exports.
The meeting will mark the first between Carney and Trump since Carney entered politics in January. Asked whether lifting U.S. tariffs would be a prerequisite for formal negotiations, Carney declined to respond directly.
