Ottawa | Mark Carny will return to the oval office furnace for the second time against the even more aggressive and authoritarian Donald Trump than when.
Indeed, Trump in May last year has nothing to do with today's Trump.
At that time, Mark Carney was well shot, carefully putting the president in his place in question 51En État.
Harmful atmosphere
But since then, the atmosphere has poisoned even more south of the border, and it became clear that Trump's prices were forever.
This week Trump even returned with his insults to 51En The state to its generals. Nothing assures when we take into account that the president thinks about sending an army to study on his own population in certain cities.
Nevertheless, Mark Carney did everything to reassure the president.
He applauded his peace plan in Gaza, his leadership in Ukraine and on the international stage.
Canada abandoned its counterates, its digital taxes oriented on American web giants and promised to invest in her army.
At the moment, all these borders would not allow Mark Karni to achieve the goal that he himself set, that is, to agree with the Pact “Economic and Security” with Trump.
Moreover, an agreement about which we do not know anything about the methods that in themselves are clearly not enough transparency.
We are still waiting for “small agreements” that the minister is responsible for the Canadian-American file, Dominic Leblank, in sectors affected by customs duties, in particular, steel and aluminum.
Leblan suggested that Ottawa still has this pricing strategy in Washington, suffers from the American economy to reason with the president.
Meanwhile, the Canadian economy suffers from the trade war, with a huge decrease in our exports and our GDP.
Surrounded risk
To reduce expectations, we say in the office of the Prime Minister “Work Visit” to overcome the stay of Prime Minister in Washington.
Problems remain huge with the upcoming revision of our free trade agreement with the United States and Mexico.
In the absence deal withMark Carny loves to quote this agreement to boast, that Canada passes less than the pricing policy of other countries.
Therefore, this stay in the White House is a kind of mission to recognize Ottawa.
What exactly Trump wants us? To what extent to our free trade agreement is under threat?
To get answers, Mark Carney relies on the fact that it is better to discuss it personally.
This risks nothing.
However, calculated risks do not exist with Donald Trump.
