Trump to Meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Amid Trade Tensions
U.S. President Donald TRUMP will meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington, D.C. on December 5. The discussions are expected to focus on unresolved trade issues between the two nations, particularly after negotiations were suspended in October. The suspension followed a Canadian advertisement during the World Series featuring former U.S. President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.
Carney acknowledged the stalled talks and emphasized the need for face-to-face dialogue to ease tensions. The meeting coincides with the 2026 World Cup soccer draw, an event Trump plans to attend. Carney expressed hope that the encounter WOULD help realign trade relations, which have strained Canada's economy due to U.S. tariffs on its goods.
