Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Washington, D.C., for talks with President Trump at the White House today. It’s the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and a Canadian leader since Trump imposed steep tariffs on Canada and called for the U.S. to annex it as the “51st state.” Ahead of Carney’s visit, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he was skeptical of cutting a trade deal with Canada.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: “They’ve been basically feeding off of us for decades upon decades upon decades. Right? They have their socialist regime, and it’s basically feeding off of America.”
