Carney Confirms Private Talks With Trump During G7 Despite No Official Meeting
Carney said he had seven or eight discussions with Trump as Canada and the United States face tense trade talks over the renewal of CUSMA.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held seven or eight discussions with President Donald Trump during the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, dismissing concerns about the lack of a formal bilateral meeting.
- With the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement up for renewal on July 1, the summit occurred during a crucial moment for trade; preserving the accord is critical for Canada, which sends about 75% of its exports to the United States.
- Carney described Canada's plan to import a limited number of Chinese electric vehicles, to which Trump responded, "That's good, I like it." The cap limits imports to less than 3% of the market, or 49,000 cars.
- Trump held one-on-one meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and leaders from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, despite Carney dismissing the lack of a formal session as a snub.
- Amid the uncertainty, Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, while Trump warned last week he may not renew the deal.
