At the recent G7 summit, U.S. President Trump departed early due to pressing issues in the Middle East, but not before engaging in significant discussions with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Both leaders are aiming to finalize a trade and security deal within 30 days, with talks reportedly focused on tariff strategies. While Trump emphasized the necessity of tariffs in any deal with Canada, Ottawa has expressed resistance to this approach. The summit showcased the ongoing complexities of U.S.-Canada trade negotiations, as both Carney and Trump navigated differing concepts for a new agreement, amid a backdrop of tensions and high-stakes diplomacy.
