In Ottawa, U.S. senators push trade, Canadian tourism to their states

On May 23, 2025, five U.S. Senators participated in a press event held at the American Embassy in Ottawa as part of their official visit to Canada.
The visit took place during a tense period in Canada-U.S. Relations, marked by escalating tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, who also controversially suggested the idea of making Canada the 51st state.
The senators, mostly from border states, discussed tariffs, economic ties, military cooperation, and stressed the importance of U.S.-Canada trade and tourism ahead of summer.
Republican Kevin Cramer characterized the current tensions as a brief disruption that would not last, while Democrats emphasized their efforts to restore the U.S.-Canada relationship to a positive trajectory.
The meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney aimed to heal recent cracks and move forward together, with Industry Minister Melanie Joly calling discussions constructive and highlighting support for frontline workers.
