Trump and Carney to meet at White House in closely watched encounter

Mark Carney met Donald Trump in Washington D.C., a meeting that could shape relations between Canada and the U.S. While Trump reassured about avoiding military conflict, he hinted at economic coercion to weaken Canada. Carney, however, made it clear they won’t comply. Experts predict Trump might back away from strengthening trade ties due to his past interactions with Prime Minister Trudeau. Meanwhile, Trump’s trade war is affecting his domestic standing, with experts warning of potential pushback. The meeting could test Canada’s ability to navigate economic dependencies and Trump’s unpredictable approach, with Canada maintaining a stronger bargaining position in negotiations.
