Donald Trump and newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet today, marking Carney’s first diplomatic engagement since his election victory. Key discussion topics include trade tariffs imposed by Trump, which have led to a trade war between the US and Canada, and Trump’s controversial comments about annexing Canada as the “51st state.” Carney, an experienced economist but political newcomer, aims to assert Canada’s sovereignty and potentially negotiate a resolution to the ongoing trade tensions.
