Following a joint press conference between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Carney was followed by a press conference, adding highly necessary clarity of trade between the two countries.
Main highlights
The talks were very constructive.
Trump and I agreed to discuss in the coming weeks and we will meet in G7.
I was clear to Trump that Canada could never be sold.
I think we built a good foundation today.
Today there were no decisions about tariffs. This is a very difficult situation.
The US and Canada both want to move forward with trade discussions.
We see how long the tariff removal takes.
Progress may not necessarily occur during the negotiations.
I feel better in US-Canada relationships in many ways.
We have a lot more work to do, we are completely engaged.
I told Trump that Canada's measures were working on fentanyl.
I asked Trump to stop talking about 51 states.
This is the point where serious discussion begins.
The lesson of this experience would be to ensure that the incentives are aligned and durably.
