From Global News.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting a first ministers’ meeting as part of the broader Council of the Federation conference, which has been underway since Monday and will continue for two more days.
Carney will answer media questions after the meeting in Huntsville, Ont., on Tuesday to provide a briefing about the government’s ongoing trade negotiations with the Trump administration and an early outline of how different governments will work together if tariffs hit.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he would impose 35 per cent across-the-board tariffs on Canada on Aug. 1, as trade talks between the two countries appear to stall.
After meeting with Canada’s premiers to discuss that threat and broader trade talks on Tuesday morning, Carney will depart, and the premiers will convene for a working lunch, attended by two former ambassadors. The conversations are expected to focus on U.S. trade relations, with an update on wildfire responses.
