Mark Carney heads to Washington: His visit with Trump kicks off high-wire politics in Canada

Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to have a crucial meeting with Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., amid the American president’s trade war and threats against Canada. Carney mentioned the upcoming discussions will be challenging as he arrived in the U.S. capital after leading the Liberals to their fourth consecutive election victory. This election outcome led to interesting dynamics in the Parliamentary session, with the Conservatives gaining more seats and the NDP maintaining power. Carney now faces the task of managing the relationship with Trump, who has played a significant role in recent Canadian politics. The new prime minister will need to navigate various challenges ahead, including potential missteps by his party and economic uncertainties. The performance of each party and leader in the coming months will determine the winners and losers in the political landscape.
