Mark Carney on High-Stakes Visit to the White House

“Just days after winning a stunning election on an anti-Trump platform, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada on Tuesday will meet with President Trump, who has imposed tariffs on Canada, America’s closest ally, next-door neighbor and top trading partner, and repeatedly threatened its sovereignty,” the New York Times reports.

“With the relationship between the two countries in tatters, the two leaders will sit down in the White House for their first face-to-face discussion, a high stakes encounter that could easily go sideways.”
