“Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Washington to meet with President Trump riding the crest of his historic win, the fourth straight election victory for the Canadian Liberals. That put him in the pole position to deal with his south-of-the-border version of the global trade crisis. Carney had strengthened his hand in March by delaying a visit to the United States, traditionally the first stop for a newly elected prime minister, to fly to Europe, where British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron were enthusiastic hosts. Prior to the trip, he spoke by phone with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He’s also invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the annual G7 summit in Canada next month. What probably captured the full attention of the man in the Oval Office, however, was Carney’s pièce de résistance, a Buckingham Palace audience with Charles III.” (05/08/25)
