Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he and President Trump agreed that negotiations on a new economic and security partnership between the two countries should begin immediately after Canada's April 28 election.
In the meantime, Carney warned Trump his government would impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods following the planned reveal on April 2 of new U.S. duties on a range of global imports--among them, Canadian-made vehicles and auto parts.
Canada's Prime Minister's Office released a summary of the call between the two leaders, about 90 minutes after Trump said in a TruthSocial post that the two men had an "extremely productive" conversation. The summary also indicated that talks between Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick would "intensify to address immediate concerns."
Carney is seeking a mandate from voters in an election set for April 28, and polls indicate that either the Liberals hold a lead or are in a tight race with the Conservative Party. Carney told Trump he would like to represent Canada in these talks on a revised economic-and-security pact.
