After the victory of his liberal party in the parliamentary election in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney President Donald Trump wants to meet on Tuesday. The meeting is planned in the White House in Washington and will focus on tariffs and bilateral relationships, Carney said at his inaugural press conference in Ottawa. Trump had repeatedly threatened to annex Canada as a 51st state-Carney won the choice through his sharp anti-trump course.
« It is important to get involved immediately, that was always my intention and that was always his intention, » said Carney. He expects « difficult but constructive discussions ». « I will fight for the best deal for Canada and will only accept the best deal. »
Trump had put high tariffs against the neighboring country, the economy of which is very closely intertwined by the United States. After the victory of his party, Carney had promised in the parliamentary election at the beginning of the week to oppose the aggressive policy of the government in the neighboring country USA. Trump had already congratulated Carney on the election victory by phone. (APA/dpa)
