The Carney Trump Meeting focused on easing trade tensions as Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the White House for the second time in five months. The two leaders discussed tariffs on steel, autos, and other goods that have strained the Canadian economy while exploring new paths for economic cooperation.
During the meeting, President Donald Trump praised Carney as a “world-class leader” and signaled willingness to revisit tariffs on key sectors. Carney said his goal was to establish a renewed economic and security relationship with the US built on fairness and stability.
Talks also covered the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which faces review next year. Trump suggested possible renegotiations or separate deals to improve trade terms. Analysts noted that keeping dialogue open is already a success given ongoing tensions between the two nations.
At home, Carney faces mounting political and economic pressure as tariffs slow growth and cost Canadian jobs. Experts believe his diplomatic approach and continued engagement with Trump could help secure better trade outcomes without direct confrontation.
