Trump, Carney and Sheinbaum Hold Private Talks in Washington After World Cup Draw

The timing underscores unresolved tariffs as the 2026 USMCA review nears.

Overview

  • Canadian officials confirmed the three leaders met privately for about 50 minutes at the Kennedy Center after appearing together at the World Cup draw.
  • Only Donald Trump, Mark Carney and Claudia Sheinbaum were in the room with no staff present, and no official readout or agreements were released.
  • Trump said before the session that trade and immigration would be discussed, but neither side provided details afterward.
  • It was the first in-person meeting between Trump and Sheinbaum since she took office.
  • The talks unfolded with U.S. sectoral tariffs still in place and a mandated 2026 USMCA review approaching, as Trump has floated letting the pact expire or striking a new deal and his trade office has raised withdrawal or bilateral tracks.
