US President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Carney held their first phone call amid escalating trade tensions between the two nations.
Trump described the call as "extremely productive," promising an immediate meeting after Canada's upcoming election to address complex political and economic issues.
Trump's planned 25% tariff on vehicle imports, effective April 2nd, threatens significant damage to Canada's automotive sector.
Prime Minister Carney previously declared the old US-Canada relationship finished, highlighting the severity of this trade dispute.
