Prime Minister Mark Carney tried to avoid setting expectations too high ahead of another meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, but the possibility of relief for Canada’s steel industry has brought a dash of optimism to the talks.

Washington

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Washington for his second meeting with US President Donald Trump, facing pressure from opposition parties to achieve tangible results on trade. The main focus of the discussions is the possibility of securing partial relief from US steel tariffs, which have impacted Canadian industries.

While some Canadian officials express cautious optimism about a potential breakthrough, they remain wary due to the unpredictability of the US administration. The talks are also seen as an opportunity to improve bilateral relations, which have been strained by recent tariff increases and disputes over digital services taxes. Carney's goal is to establish a framework that could lead to further reductions in sectoral tariffs, though expectations are being managed carefully.

Carney set to for second Trump trade meeting

Mark Carney arrived in Washington ahead of his second Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump under pressure from the opposition back home to bring back solid results. Surely after promising to negotiate a win to have a deal by July the 21st the Prime Minister's not flying all the way to Washington DC just to have lunch. Pierre Pauliev also sent Carney an open letter demanding no more losing but Conservative Premiers weren't joining the chorus. We'll say that recently I have had some hope that we are seeing a change in direction since Mark Carney became Prime Minister. Alberta's Premier sounded downright complimentary about Carney's infrastructure proposals and from Ontario. I'm confident that the Prime Minister is going to go in there and do do a great job he's a smart smart business person. There is guarded optimism that there might be some kind of a breakthrough in Washington. When the President wants something he wants something to go out with a big splash so I don't think that the Prime Minister would be going unless there was something to announce. But Trump so far isn't budging on tariffs. I mean look my position's turned out to everybody said I'm right there's a lot of companies from Canada are moving into the United States you know. We we are friends we are allies. Canada got some support from a delegation of governors from Great Lakes states all of which are closely tied to the Canadian economy. What is not helpful is the way in which the President has demeaned our neighbours in the north suggesting that they should be the 51st state. I respect Canadian sovereignty. The Liberal government has tried not to raise expectations around this trip but there's no doubt that Carney would like to emerge with some kind of relief for Canadian industry struggling with tariffs even if it falls short of the grand bargain he's ultimately hoping for. Evan Dyer, CBC News, Ottawa. Katie Simpson joins me now from Washington with new information about Carney's main objectives. Katie what have you learned about the hopes for this meeting? The expectation heading into this meeting is the possibility of steel tariffs being lowered some partial relief. This is according to three senior Canadian government sources speaking to CBC News and Radio-Canada and the goal the overall goal according to these sources is this could create a new framework to lower more sectoral tariffs in the future. Now the key word in all of this is expectation and that was stressed to us by our sources. Everyone is being cautious because US President Donald Trump is so unpredictable. In the past Canadian officials thought breakthroughs had been made that deals were close and then things go sideways unexpectedly. Absolutely so what else does Canada want to achieve here? This is a chance for relationship building. Things are in a better place than Prime Minister Trudeau's final months in office but it still has been a rough stretch for Prime Minister Carney. Canada is being pummeled by tariffs and while Canada has more exceptions than most countries deadlines were announced and not met some rates have been hiked and there's plenty of uncertainty. There was a moment this summer when Trump really deeply lashed out at Canada over the proposed digital services tax the one that Ottawa dropped following those complaints and you know just last week Trump revived his 51st state rhetoric. Anytime any world leader goes into the Oval Office there is a fear of making things worse. That of course is something Carney will want to avoid at all costs. All right thanks for this Katie, Katie Simpson in Washington.
