Amidst a growing trade conflict, US President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Carney initiated their first official conversation.
Trump declared the call a success, scheduling a post-election meeting to discuss the political and economic implications of the escalating trade war.
Trump's impending 25% tariff on imported vehicles poses a substantial threat to Canada's car industry and overall economic stability.
Carney's prior statement that the traditional US-Canada relationship is obsolete underscores the gravity of the current trade dispute.
