Trump speaks with Canada's new PM ahead of 25% tariffs - nixing 'governor' taunt
Briefly

President Trump communicated with Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney amidst plans to implement a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, marking a shift from his previous relationship with former PM Justin Trudeau. Trump's call with Carney, deemed productive, set the stage for collaboration following Canada's elections. The new tariffs, aimed partly at addressing issues related to fentanyl and immigration, reflect Trump's ongoing focus on renegotiating trade terms that could impact both nations significantly as the US seeks to protect its borders and economic interests.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's government is bracing for a new whopping tariff on exports to the US.
Trump...mentioned it was an extremely productive call, they agree on many things, and plan to meet post-Election.
In the past, Trump has derisively referred to Carney's predecessor as 'Governor' and suggested Canada could be the 51st state.
Trump's tariff threats against the US's neighbors are based initially on fentanyl smuggling and illegal immigration but have broadened.
