Trump and Canadian PM Carney Plan Post-Election Talks Amid Trade Tensions

The leaders held a 'productive call' as U.S. tariffs and annexation rhetoric strain relations, with Canada preparing for retaliatory measures and an upcoming election.

President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to meet after Canada's April 28 election to address political and economic issues.
The leaders described their recent call as 'productive,' though tensions remain over U.S. tariffs and Trump's annexation comments.
Trump recently imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian imports but later exempted goods covered under the USMCA agreement.
Carney has criticized the U.S. as 'no longer a reliable partner' and is advocating for reduced economic reliance on the U.S.
Canada is considering retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs, with surging nationalist sentiment ahead of the snap election.
