WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet today with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, a meeting that political and industry observers are watching to see whether it brings any tariff reprieve.
A senior government official, speaking on a not-for-attribution basis ahead of the trip, tempered expectations about what could be delivered during their second sitdown in Washington since Carney took office back in April.
“Well, I guess he’s going to ask about tariffs ’cause a lot of companies from Canada are moving into the United States,” Trump said when asked about the upcoming meeting on Monday. He did not name which companies.
