🇨🇦 Canada’s New PM Heads to Washington to Fix Broken Trade Ties with Trump

Fresh off an election victory, Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney is wasting no time. He’s heading to Washington D.C. this Tuesday for a high-stakes meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump to try and revive a trade relationship he recently declared “over.”

🗣️ "Difficult but constructive" – Carney's Mission

At his first news conference, Carney said he had a “very constructive” call with Trump and is ready to tackle:

⚙️ Harsh U.S. tariffs hitting Canadian steel, aluminum, and auto sectors

🇨🇦 The need to restore trust under the USMCA trade pact

🔐 National economic and security collaboration

👑 Surprise Royal Move

In a historic twist, King Charles will visit Ottawa later this month to open Parliament—the first time in nearly 50 years that a monarch performs the ceremony. Carney called it a "symbolic gesture" for a country facing tough times.

🇺🇸 From Tensions to Talks

Trump’s recent jabs at Canada—mocking former PM Trudeau and even joking about annexing Canada—fueled Carney’s rise to power. Now, with the Liberals holding a minority, Carney vows to:

✅ Defend Canadian industries

✅ Seek new global partnerships

✅ Reset relations with America

🏭 Reality Check: U.S. Tariffs Bite Hard

Canada’s auto industry is already feeling the pain:

GM to slash production in Ontario

Stellantis paused output in April

Thousands of jobs on the line

Carney says: “We are fighting hard for our auto sector, all our sectors.”

Business leaders are urging both sides to honor the USMCA framework for stability.
