Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday 6th, and from his election victory, which partly powered sentiment against Trump, he will mark his first personal meeting. Meeting comes when both countries continue to promote Tit-for-for-Tat tariffs, no solution without supervision.
“It is important to immediately engage, which has always been my intention, has always been his intention,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa. “And I’m pleased to have the opportunity for a quite complex set of meetings.”
Trump challenges us support for Canada before the meeting
Just before his first personal meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Trump, Trump took social to challenge the foundations of the US-Canad relationship and claim that America unfairly subsidizes his northern neighbor.
“I look forward to meeting the new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney,” Trump he wrote Tuesday morning. “I want to work with it very much, but I don’t understand one simple truth – why does America subsidize Canada by $ 200 billion a year, except that it provides them with free military protection and many other things?”
Post escalated tensions before what is expected to be harsh interviews between two leaders who publicly disagreed about trade, sovereignty and the future of bilateral ties.
Trump: “We don’t need anything they have”
In his contribution, Trump claimed that the US did not need Canadian exports – “cars”, “energy”, “timber” – and indicated that Canada was too dependent on the United States. “On the other hand, they need everything from us!” Trump wrote. “The Prime Minister will arrive early, and this will most likely be my only question of consequences.”
Focus on trade and sovereignty
The discussion focuses on what Carney called “Trade Pressures and Wider Future Economic and Security”. He warned that while the conversations would be “difficult, constructive” and warned that an immediate agreement on the ongoing trade war should not be expected.
Carney, a former central banker, swept to power with the promises to stand up to Trump’s “aggression” and protect Canadian sovereignty. In his winning speech Carney said, “We are over the shock of American betrayal. But we should never forget the lessons.”
51. State note persists
Trump struck the ambiguous tone and said last week that he wasn’t “sure” what Carney wanted to discuss during the meeting. However, he added, “Canada wants to conclude an agreement.” During the cabinet meeting at the beginning of the week, he also referred to a Carney visit and said that the Prime Minister would be “in the next week or less” in Washington.
Trump’s repeated remarks that Canada will become 51. The US state continues to cause resistance. Carney pushed firmly back and said, “The old economic and security relationship with the US ended.”
The Canadian Prime Minister confirmed that Trump had made a proposal for statehood at their last telephone call.
Tariffs and fentanyl dispute
The trade war began in February, when Trump signed an executive order depositing tariffs on Canadian steel, cars and other goods that quoted the alleged role of Canada in the fentanyl crisis.
Canada responded to $ 60 billion ($ 43.5 billion) to retaliatory tariffs for a wide range of US products, including cars.
