The US-Canada conference will come amid a tense relationship over Trump’s meditation on annexing Northern neighbours and imposing tariffs on some goods
Mark Carney won the Canadian Prime Minister election
Mark Carney won the Canadian election to maintain his power as Prime Minister.
OTTAWA, May 2 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Mark Kearney said he will travel to Washington on May 6 to meet Donald Trump.
Trump, who has been silent about Canada’s annexation, has imposed tariffs on some Canadian goods. Carney regularly called US actions betrayal and said he would promote consultations on creating new security-defense relationships during the campaign.
“Based on a steadily increasing integration, our old relationship has ended. Now is how our country will cooperate in the future, and where we will move forward in Canada,” Carney said at a press conference on May 2.
Former central banker, Carney said his crisis management experience meant he was the perfect person to tackle Trump. The Liberals, which recently thrust into the vote in January, opposed to win Monday’s election.
Kearney also says Canada needs to reduce its dependence on the US. This requires 75% of all Canada’s exports.
