Trump and Carney to meet at White House in closely watched encounter | Canada | The Guardian

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House, a closely watched encounter that could indicate the future relationship between the two countries. Carney's election campaign was partly based on resisting Trump's threats to Canada's sovereignty, but experts believe the tone of the meeting may be more cordial due to Trump's recent relatively friendly comments about Carney. The meeting is expected to focus on trade negotiations and the USMCA free trade agreement, with Canada in a relatively strong bargaining position.
