Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Washington ahead of a closely watched meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, as tensions rise following Trump's revived remarks suggesting Canada could become the 51st U.S. state.
Carney is scheduled to attend a Monday evening function with U.S. and Canadian business leaders before holding a bilateral meeting and working lunch with Trump on Tuesday. The two leaders are expected to discuss the ongoing trade war, which has created economic uncertainty on both sides of the border following Trump’s decision to increase tariffs.
Carney’s visit marks his first official trip to Washington since his Liberal Party scored a surprising victory in last month’s election, a result seen as a public rebuke of Trump’s trade policies and comments challenging Canadian sovereignty.
Trump’s recent rhetoric has sparked widespread criticism in Canada, with many officials and citizens expressing outrage over suggestions of annexation. Carney has maintained that Canada will defend its sovereignty while working to restore stable economic relations with the U.S.
The meeting comes amid ongoing disputes affecting key trade sectors, and both sides are under pressure to find a path forward.
