Canada election: Carney, Poilievre spar over whether consumer carbon tax is really dead [Video]

Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum talk trade and sovereignty

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Carney’s office said he’d spoken with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Both Canada and Mexico’s auto sectors are closely intertwined with the U.S.

President Donald Trump confirmed last week the “global” tariffs he’s announcing tomorrow will include levies on cars and car parts made outside the States.

According to the statement from Carney’s office, he and Sheinbaum discussed increasing trade between Canada and Mexico and “emphasized the importance of safeguarding North American competitiveness while respecting the sovereignty of each nation.”

He called it a “productive call” but was light on other details.
