Mark Carney is preparing for conversations with Donald Trump

Arriving at the Prime Minister’s office for the first day of his new term, Mark Carney immediately faced the question of many Canadians’ minds: When would he talk to Donald Trump?

“We’ll see” Carney He told journalists with a smile, before leaving the stairs at his office at Ottawa. In fact, the recently elected leader of Canada did not waste time. Carney and United States President spoke on the telephone later on Tuesday and agreed to gather in person “in the near future.”

Starting a new dialogue with Trump is, at most, the most pressing task of the Carney government.

Former Central Banquer won the election in the back of the resentment of the Canadians of the North -American rates and the threats of Trump for their sovereignty. He told the voters that the commercial and security relationships for decades with the United States was “finished”.

Now, he has to resort to building a new relationship. A superior assistant said that the call with Trump was “cordial” and that Carney focuses on the June G7 summit, which will be welcomed to the city of Rocky Mountain in Kananaskis, as a place for face -to -face conversations.

“We have the G7, so we cannot afford to wait,” said the advisor.

Carney will have to balance the patriotic indignation of voters, as many nullify travel to the United States and boycott North -Americans, with their need to convince Trump to make an agreement.

The heads of the industry rushed to urge CARNEY to frame negotiations with the United States as a review and extension of the United States Agreement, Mexico and Canada: the North -American Free Trade Agreement went to the President’s first term.

“Business leaders in the three countries agree that the agreement must continue to serve as a central mechanism to govern trade and investment, resolve disputes and increase competitiveness and continental productivity,” said Goldy Hyder, on Tuesday, executive chef of the Canadian Business Council.

Companies and investors expect to renegotiate the agreement will be able to break the cycle of fare threats and short extensions. Hyder said usmca was the best frame “to restore the certainty, stability and predictability” of the annual negotiation relationship of $ 1.3 ($ 940 million).

Relations with the US are full. When the polls opened in Canada for the Monday election, Trump had published on the social truth that the Canadians had to vote to become the 51st -American state.

Tammy Bruce, a spokesman for the United States Department of State, reiterated on Tuesday the justifications that Trump had used to impose rates, issues in which Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau had hammer.

“We look forward to working with the government of Prime Minister Carney, especially on key issues such as commercial equity, combating illegal immigration, stopping the flow of Fentanil and other dangerous drugs and counteracting the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on our hemisphere,” he said.

The speech of the CARNEY election victory early on Tuesday morning presented a plan to strengthen relations with “reliable members” in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world.

“If the United States no longer want to be at the helm of the global economy, Canada will do it. We are teachers in our house. We will build millions of housing units. We will become an energy superpower,” he said.

But despite the ambitious talk, there are harsh economic realities. Canada is very confident of North -American buyers for their exports, while Midwest’s oil refineries in America depend on Canada as the largest Foreign Oil provider in the United States. Shipment oil and other resources elsewhere is much more expensive.

Carney will also have his job for him with domestic politics. The final vote on Tuesday afternoon confirmed that he had won the largest number of seats – and the right to form a government – but fell to only three seats from the parliamentary majority.

He must agree to ensure parliamentary support, probably with the new Democratic Party, which had supported the Trudeau administration. The support of the Center Esquerra party collapsed and its leader, Jagmeet Singh, lost its place. But its remaining seven members are enough to promote legislation for Parliament.

The Conservative party worked better than expected, reaching 7.6 percent in popular vote compared to its 2021 election performance, although its leader, Pierre Poilievre, lost its own seat.

Carney won the popular vote only 2.4 percent, having won 11.1 percent of the previous Liberals account under Trudeau.

Carney will also have to announce a new cabinet, balancing Trudeau Lieutenants as Foreign Minister Mélanie Jole and Minister of Commerce, Dominic Lablanc, with his rival for Chrystia Freeland leadership, as well as new faces.

The new leader will face a choir of demands for support from domestic industries such as Carmaking, aluminum and steel, for which North -Americans threaten widespread losses or business closures.

The Canada oil sector also wants to make the most of Trump’s hostilities in finding new buyers for export.

“The development of world -class oil and natural gas resources throughout its potential, growing our exports to international markets will strengthen our energy safety and our economic sovereignty,” said Lisa Baiton, CEO of the Canadian Association of Oil Producers.

They could be difficult talks for Carney, who has been a defender of the “green transition”.

Despite being described as a political newbie, who became a Member on Monday, people who know that Carney says it should not be despised.

The former Central Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan, who has met the new Canadian leader for two decades, said: “Carney is extremely capable and always well prepared.”
