Carney says he remains in regular contact with Trump amid trade dispute
Canada-U.S. tariffs dominate as Carney keeps talking with Trump See how trade tensions, global shocks, and a possible fair deal could unfold
Prime Minister Mark Carney said he continues to speak regularly with U.S. President Donald Trump even as Canada and the United States remain at odds over tariffs and other trade measures.
Carney said recent conversations with Trump have centered on global developments, including the wars in Ukraine and Iran and their effects on energy and grain markets. He made the comments in Calgary on Thursday while appearing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The two countries have recently exchanged new tariffs after trade talks broke down last month. Carney said Canada is reviewing Washington’s latest actions and still believes a fair deal is possible, while also pushing back on remarks from U.S. officials that he called inappropriate.
