Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Tuesday that Canada and the United States have agreed to increase the frequency of trade negotiations. The announcement followed a morning phone call between Carney and President Donald Trump.
The decision to intensify talks comes after the U.S. administration imposed new tariffs on Canadian goods. Carney stated at a news conference that both leaders agreed to move forward with discussions in the coming weeks to address trade relations.
The Prime Minister indicated that Canadian negotiating teams are prepared to participate in the upcoming sessions. No specific dates for the start of the new round of talks were provided during the briefing.
