Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday he would visit the White House on Tuesday after Carney’s Liberal Party emerged victorious in the nation's federal election last week to discuss a 25% tariff imposed on goods from the nation sent to the U.S. and Trump's repeated urging that the U.S. northern neighbor become the "51st state."
"We are meeting as heads of our government," Carney said Friday of the upcoming meeting. "I am not pretending those discussions will be easy."
Trump added during his meeting with Cabinet members on Thursday that he spoke with Carney after Canada's election and predicted they would have "a great relationship."
"He's going to come to the White House very shortly within the next week or less," Trump said on Thursday.
