US EditionWorld Cup Draw Begins with Trump, Sheinbaum and Carney Picking Balls of Their Own Nations
Mark Carney and Donald Trump meet at the FIFA World Cup draw, potentially reopening talks on tariffs after trade negotiations stalled in October, affecting 25% of Canada's GDP.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney participated in the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center, and Carney's office confirmed they will meet, possibly their first since October's trade halt.
- Facing tariffs and countermeasures, Canada still faces 50% tariffs on steel, aluminum and copper, 25% on autos, 10% on energy, and 35% on non-USMCA goods with 25% of Canada's GDP tied to trade, three quarters with the United States.
- Amid long lines and tight security, retired stars Tom Brady, Shaquille O'Neal, Wayne Gretzky and Aaron Judge helped run the event framed by a red carpet and Secret Service security at the Kennedy Center this year.
- Carney's recent remarks indicate he has no 'burning issue' and will engage when the U.S. resumes trade talks, while Goldy Hyder warns 'stakes are high for both Canada and the United States.'
- With 189 days to go, the expanded 48-nation, 104-game World Cup opens June 11 in Mexico City, and the United States will host quarterfinals onward using 11 NFL stadiums.
