Carney's spring to-do list includes Trump and trade barriers
- On May 6, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to hold his first face-to-face discussion with U.S. President Donald Trump in the United States capital.
- Carney aims to address the ongoing trade war and begins this effort after stating that Canada's old U.S. Relationship is over and campaigning on eliminating internal trade barriers.
- He also intends to swear in a gender-balanced cabinet during the week of May 12, reconvene Parliament on May 26, and has committed to introducing legislation by July 1 aimed at eliminating provincial trade barriers.
- Carney stated he expects difficult but constructive negotiations with the NDP, plans a budget featuring aggressive spending with projected deficits near $225 billion, and called a nine percent annual government spending increase unsustainable.
- These actions suggest Carney intends to strengthen Canada's sovereignty, pursue trade reforms, and manage government spending growth amid a Liberal minority government requiring support from opposition MPs.
