Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met US President Donald Trump on Tuesday to discuss the trade. The leaders talked about tariffs, investments and the future of the Mexico-Canada agreement in the US. Mark Carney said both countries would be “stronger together”, while Donald Trump revealed that both nations “work on samples” for a business agreement.
“President Trump and I know that there are areas where our nations can compete – and areas where we will be stronger together. We focus on building these new opportunities,” Carney said on X.
Mark Carney, on his second visit to Washington since he got to the office in April, has described Trump as “transformative president”, he said either. He said that Canada remained the largest foreign investor in the United States and could invest “probably $ 1 trillion in the next five years if we get the agreement we expect”.
US-Canada “went long way” in business interviews
President Trump said that the two North American countries were in the “natural conflict” because they both try to attract the same businesses.
“He wants to produce cars, we want to produce cars and we are in competition. And the advantage we have is that we have this massive market,” Trump said, Bloomberg said.
He pointed out that both countries have “passed a long way” in business talks and said, “We are working on samples and I think we’ll get there.”
Carney noted: “There are areas where we compete, and it’s in those areas where we have to achieve an agreement that works. However, there are more areas where we are stronger together, and we focus on that.”
The US has increased tariffs to steel, aluminum, cars and timber. According to Bloomberg, obligations for unsatisfactory goods have increased from 25% to 35%, which affected Canadian jobs and investments and caused the country’s economy to decrease in the second quarter.
Trump said that the US, Canada and Mexico can either negotiate their three -sided agreement or “make different shops”.
He said he has no strong preference, but is aimed at ensuring the best solution for the US, “also with regard to Canada.”
He added that any agreement between the US and Canada would be “complex” and solve long -term problems such as the dairy.
The Canadian Minister responsible for the American shop Dominic Leblanc said that yesterday’s meeting was “more detailed than previous discussions”.
