U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s “not sure” what Prime Minister Mark Carney “wants to see me about” ahead of tomorrow’s meeting.
Trump and Carney are scheduled to speak at the White House on Tuesday in their first in-person meeting since Canada’s election. The two leaders are expected to discuss the months-long trade war that has fractured their countries’ relationship and seeped their respective economies with uncertainty.
“I guess he wants to make a deal. Everybody does,” the U.S. president told reporters in the Oval Office, where he’s expected to host Carney, who moments later waved to cameras as he boarded a plane from Ottawa to Washington.
Sources tell CTV News that Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly, International Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Minister of Public Safety David McGuinty are also expected to participate in the meeting.
