Overview
- The Washington gathering marked President Trump's first in-person meeting with Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum since taking office.
- Canadian and Mexican officials said the three held a private meeting of roughly an hour on the sidelines of the FIFA event.
- Trump publicly praised ties with Canada at the ceremony, calling the working relationship "excellent."
- Sheinbaum reported that trade was discussed and that teams will keep working together, saying no concrete agreements were reached and a follow-up Washington meeting was proposed without a set date.
- The encounter followed Trump's late-October suspension of Canada trade talks over an Ontario anti-tariff ad, after which Premier Mark Carney apologized in early November.
