Canadian PM Carney to meet Trump for first time to discuss tariffs | BBC News

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet US President Donald Trump in his first official visit to the White House.

In a post-election news conference on Friday, Carney said he intends to discuss tariffs and broader US-Canada relations with Trump during their meeting.
