Carney and Trump Set to Meet Amid Renewed Diplomatic Focus

 

Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are preparing for their first in-person meeting following a phone call on Tuesday. The conversation, which came shortly after Carney's election victory, emphasized the importance of Canada and the United States collaborating as independent, sovereign nations. Both leaders agreed to work together for mutual benefit and to meet in the near future.
