Carney's visit to the White House takes place in a context of trade tensions and discontent in Canada, where 77% of exports go to the USA. Former Canadian ambassador Frank McKenna emphasizes that relations are at their lowest level, and Canadians are changing their business plans due to the tariffs imposed by Trump. Carney is seeking a reduction in tariffs for certain sectors and an improvement in trade relations ahead of the USMCA review, but expectations are low. Canada is a crucial trading partner for the USA, supplying 60% of imported oil and having close ties in the fields of security and culture.
