Prime Minister Carney says he spoke with Trump 'at length' about trade on Monday

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Sep, 2025 09:54 AM

Prime Minister Mark Carney says that he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday evening "at length on a wide range of issues," including trade.

The Prime Minister's Office did not disclose on Monday that the two had spoken at all.

Carney says Canada has a team of senior bureaucrats in Washington speaking with their U.S counterparts on key trade issues.

But the prime minister also says that no one should "expect immediate white smoke" on talks regarding sectors affected by U.S. tariffs.

Carney spoke to reporters this morning on his way into a cabinet planning committee meeting.

American tariffs and the upcoming review of Canada's free trade pact with the U.S. and Mexico will headline discussions later today as Carney's cabinet kicks off its two-day retreat in Toronto.
