Canada’s new PM Carney visits China seeking trade boost after U.S. tariffs
TheWkly Analysis
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney began a visit to Beijing to deepen trade ties as U.S. President Trump’s administration imposes 15% tariffs on Canadian goods. Carney aims to diversify Canada’s exports, especially natural resources and agricultural products, and reduce reliance on the U.S. market. He is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and seek greater access to Chinese markets as well as reopen agricultural exports. The trip comes as U.S.-Canada relations remain strained, with Trump repeatedly criticizing Canada and threatening additional trade action. Carney said Canada must “look elsewhere” for growth opportunities.
