U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met at the White House. This was the second meeting between the two leaders in the past five months, during which they discussed trade tariffs and the state of economic relations.

Donald Trump stated that both countries would hold talks on reducing tariffs and strengthening mutual trade relations, but he noted that the possibility of signing a new agreement remains limited.

Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he is working to restore and strengthen economic relations with the United States in order to ensure a stable and sustainable trade process between the two countries.

This comes at a time when relations between the United States and Canada are considered among the oldest and closest economic partnerships in the world; however, in recent years, tensions have arisen several times over trade tariffs and import taxes between the two countries.
