  • Carney aims to tackle escalating trade disputes and reaffirm Canada’s sovereignty amid U.S. tariffs and annexation rhetoric from Trump.
  • This meeting marks a pivotal moment in U.S.-Canada relations, which have deteriorated significantly since Trump assumed office in January 2025.
  • Carney has pledged to lead the largest transformation of the Canadian economy since World War II, framing it as a response to external pressures.
