Carney to meet with Trump, Sheinbaum in D.C. as CUSMA future in question
Global News
The three leaders will be in Washington, D.C., for the FIFA World Cup draw, marking the first time they will be in the same room together.
Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet Friday with U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum when the three leaders are in Washington, D.C., for the FIFA World Cup draw, Carney’s office says.
The event, which will decide the team matchups for the World Cup matches taking place in all three countries next year, will mark the first time this year that the three North American leaders are in the same place together.
It was not immediately clear if Carney will meet with Trump and Sheinbaum together or separately on the sidelines of the FIFA event at the Kennedy Center.
Friday’s meeting will mark the first official sit-down between Carney and Trump since the U.S. president suspended trade talks with Canada in October over Ontario’s anti-tariff TV ad campaign. The two spoke briefly at a group dinner during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea last month, where Carney apologized for the ad, but trade issues were not otherwise discussed.
Trump told reporters afterward that he would not resume trade negotiations despite Carney’s apology.
It also comes after Trump on Wednesday mused that he may either let the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA) expire next year or negotiate a new deal.
The trade pact is up for review next year, with public consultations already underway in all three countries.
“It expires in about a year, and we’ll either let it expire, or we’ll maybe work out another deal with Mexico and Canada,” Trump told reporters in the White House, when asked about the future of the deal.
