Canada’s PM Carney to visit Trump at White House on Tuesday

Economy World



Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday he will visit US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. The high-stakes meeting comes as Trump continues his trade war and annexation threats.

Carney’s Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of Trump, whose trade war and attacks on Canadian sovereignty outraged voters.

“Canadians elected a new government to stand up to President Trump and build a strong economy,” Carney said in his first remarks since election night.

Carney also said King Charles III will deliver a speech outlining the Canadian government’s priorities on May 27, when parliament resumes. Charles is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

Carney has emphasised Canada’s oldest allies, Britain and France, since becoming prime minister after the resignation of Justin Trudeau. Carney repeated that the old relationship with the US based on steadily increasing integration is over.

“On Tuesday, I had a very constructive call with President Trump, and we agreed to meet next Tuesday in Washington,” Carney said. “My government will fight to get the best deal for Canada.”
