Canadian PM Carney visits Trump as relations between the longtime allies remain at a low point
October 6, 2025
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at a time when one of the world’s most durable and amicable alliances has been fractured by Trump’s trade war and annexation threats. Carney’s second visit to the White House on Tuesday comes ahead of a review of the free trade agreement, which is critical to Canada’s economy. More than three-quarters of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. Trump’s talk of making Canada the 51st state and his tariffs have Canadians feeling an undeniable sense of betrayal. Relations with Canada’s southern neighbor and longtime ally are at a low point.
