Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has delivered a sharp warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to bring back results — not “photo ops” — from his upcoming meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
In a letter shared with CBC News, Poilievre accused Carney of failing to secure tariff relief for Canadian industries, saying Canada has been “losing ground” in trade talks. He called on the prime minister to push for the removal of tariffs on lumber, steel, aluminum, and autos, and to challenge “Buy American” rules that disadvantage Canadian workers.
Carney and his cabinet are set to meet Trump in Washington this week for discussions on trade, security, and North American economic cooperation.
Government insiders remain cautiously optimistic that Canada could win partial steel tariff relief, while experts say the meeting signals both sides are seeking stability after months of escalating trade tensions.
