After meeting with an oval office under the release of TV lights, Prime Minister Mark Carney and his American colleague retreated to Roosevelt Room for a working lunch on Tuesday. A large part of the chatter for the meal related to foreign policy issues, according to a senior Canadian official.
The two leaders got along well, the official said, and at the beginning and at the end of the lunch emphasized that it is an honor to host a new prime minister at the White House.
At the time, Trump said that the discussion of the day was considered “great” – reconciling the comments he later told the White House print.
“He’s a beautiful man. We get along well. We had a great meeting today – really. I think the relationship will be very strong,” Trump said about Carney.
While any beauty, Carney was clear with Trump privately, as he was in his public statements before the press, that Canada and the US was gathered as a non-State State, according to an official, who spoke with CBC News and other journalists who traveled with the prime minister on the background and with the condition that they were not appointed.
Carney told reporters that he personally asked Trump to stop with the attachment.
During a press conference in Washington after a meeting with US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the case of removal of tariffs and that “considerable efforts” were made to increase the border safety, especially in connection with Fentanil. Carney added that “more work” in creating a case that the tariffs are not good for Americans either.
But the Canadian delegation has left a meeting with a clearer understanding that the president really thinks that it would be a good idea for Canada to become 51. The state – these are not just comments intended to challenge, the official said.
Trump, however, admitted that “two tango is needed” and that this cannot happen with the vast majority of people in this country.
The Prime Minister also conveyed to the president during lunch that his tariffs to Canadian goods should be disassembled if there would be a new arrangement of trading between the two countries, because both leaders talked about it, the official said. Each trade “contract” for Canada must include US abolition of tariffs.
While Carney, his team and most of Canadians at home, seized with 51 state-owned mocking and Trump’s punishment of tariff, the president himself was eager to break bread with Carney and discuss global issues that take place on his watch, namely, the war of Russia-Ukraine, hostility with China and the situation in Iran, said the clerk.
The clerk said that Trump wanted to get Carney’s perspective on questions that the president was preoccupied with while trying to fulfill his promise of the campaign that he would quickly introduce the war of Ukraine and discover Iran’s nuclear ambitions – two questions that show especially challenging for administration.
Trump also asked Carney to separate for Israel and Gaza-who had a little talked about this issue, said the Houthis official in Yemen, which the president spoke about in front of the white house cameras in the public part of his gathering.
The fact that the president sought a contribution from Carney on these files, said the clerk, said as a “encouraging sign” that Trump respects the new Canada leader and considers him valuable.
It is normal for world leaders to talk about foreign policy and reject ideas to each other, and Trump’s willingness to do so with Carney at their first meeting was another proven point that Dan was a relative success, the official said.
Trump did not have a certain question from Canada on these foreign files, the clerk said.
Prime Minister Mark Carney called his first face face to face with US President Donald Trump “wide” and “constructive”, despite Trump said Canada could not do anything to remove the US tariff.
While global jobs took a large part of the lunch, Carney and Trump also talked about questions closer to home, including Fentanil – an obvious reason why the big tariffs in Canada, Mexico and China had slapped this year this year.
The clerk said that Trump was personally very “considered” on this regard, and two leaders had a rather detailed discussion of cartel and supply chains that stimulate drug crisis. Only in Canada was 50.928 obvious death toxicity opioid Since 2016.
One of Trump’s high counselors, Stephen Miller, was available for lunch and spoke to drug problems, the clerk said.
Carney used the fentanile part of the conversation to gently press the point again that Canada is simply not the main source of the drug, and the government plan of a border plan of a billion dollar has resulted in a significant decline in the flow of illegal narcotics and migrants, said the clerk.
The latest figures of the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) show that five pounds of Fentanis have been seized so far at the northern border of the USA – compare 3,040 pounds in the southwest.
The Canadian progress of the border should result in the abolition of the fentanyl tariffs, Carney said, Trump said, according to an official.
Clearly, there will be a conversation for the second day, the clerk said.
Former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson says experience and preparations were key to Prime Minister Mark Carney that he was moving to the White House with his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
In addition to Fentanil, the president showed a special interest in the Arctic, the official said.
And, at one point, the conversation depended on energy and critical minerals – the topics that Canada always talk about because it shows Americans that this bilateral connection is not only related to trade but also on safety and defense, the official said.
In his public objection, Trump said he was pleased to hear that Canada would spend more on defense and admitted that the country was buying a large equipment made by the US.
“We protect Canada if you have ever had a problem,” he said.
