Carney To Return To Washington As Trump's Tariffs Hit Sectors Hard

The prime minister is expected to visit the White House on Tuesday to meet face-to-face with U.S. President Donald Trump after he publicly brought up his 51st state idea again and tariffs continue to pummel some Canadian industries. 

Mark Carney's office said he will travel to Washington on Monday evening ahead of talks.

"The Prime Minister's working visit will focus on shared priorities in a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the U.S.," the prime minister's office said in a statement. 

The statement said the meeting comes after both countries launched public consultations last month ahead of the first joint review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

It's been more than two months since Canada and the U.S. blew past a deadline they jointly agreed on to reach a trade deal. Carney rescinded a tax on big U.S. technology firms at Trump's request and dropped retaliatory tariffs to try to advance talks. 

So far, there's no sign of a deal. 

Carney's minister involved in negotiations with the U.S. said he hasn't seen a dead end to the trade talks and hopes the two countries can reach a deal before the CUSMA review next year.

"I'm hoping we can get progress before the review process formally engages," Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said on Thursday. "But time will tell us if my optimism is misplaced."

Trump's continuing to push ahead with his aggressive tariff agenda against much of the world. 

This week, he floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state again while speaking to military leaders. He also hit softwood lumber producers with a new tariff that's coming on lumber and timber, kitchen cabinets and other furniture shipments into the U.S. 

The lumber tariffs are yet another blow to Canadian producers who are also facing American countervailing and anti-dumping duties. 

As the days go on without a deal, pressure is mounting from the opposition to land a win.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Carney promised to make some sort of an agreement with the United States by July 21.

"Where is the win?" Poilievre said Thursday.
