Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters today that he will meet with President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, May 6. The prime minister said the meeting will focus on tariffs and the US-Canada relationship, APA reports citing CNN.
“There are two sets of issues. There are the immediate tariffs, both sectoral and so-called reciprocal and fentanyl tariffs, and then there is the broader relationship,” Carney said. “So [the meeting will be about] addressing both sets of issues. We’ll see how that progress goes.”
Asked how he might avoid the same kind of public argument that occurred between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year, Carney said he’s going into the meeting expecting a “difficult, but constructive” conversation.
“I go there with the expectation of constructive — difficult, but constructive — discussions,” Carney said. “That’s the spirit of the conversations that the president and I had.”
“You go to these meetings well prepared,” the prime minister continued, “Understanding the objectives of your counterpart and always acting in the best interest of Canada, and we’ll go from there.”
