Prime Minister Mark Carney will kick off talks with Donald Trump Tuesday in a bid for a comprehensive deal on trade and security, but top business and diplomatic voices are warning that linking the two issues in a single pact will only make it easier for the U.S. President to punish Canada with tariffs if he’s unhappy with its military or border spending.
Mr. Carney flew to Washington Monday ahead of a working lunch Tuesday with Mr. Trump at the White House – what could be the most important meeting between a U.S. president and Canadian prime minister in decades.
