Carney and Trump Engage in Constructive Talks on Trade, Tariffs Decision Postponed

Constructive Discussions Between Canada and the US

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump held a meeting that was described as "wide-ranging" and "very constructive." Despite the positive dialogue, Carney clarified that "no decisions" regarding tariffs were made "today."

Future of Trade Talks

Carney expressed optimism about the future of trade negotiations, stating, "Both sides want to move forward with trade talks." However, he remained cautious about the timeline for the removal of tariffs, especially after Trump dismissed the possibility in earlier comments.

A Stand on Sovereignty

During their discussion, Carney firmly told Trump that Canada would never be for sale, to which Trump humorously replied, "Never say never," referencing his previous hints about Canada becoming the 51st state of the US.
