Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is heading to Washington for his second visit this year - this time with the more modest goal of getting trade talks back on track. Negotiations have dragged on over the summer, blowing past an August deadline set by the leaders. Few details have emerged about the discussions or the specific issues preventing a deal, which is critical as Canada is the only G7 country yet to reach an agreement with President Trump this year. Carney's visit comes as Trump's comments about potentially making Canada a U.S. state have intensified the dialogue. Despite the difficulties, Canada's Trade Minister suggests 'progress' is being made, yet there's frustration over the lack of clarity from the White House. As Carney seeks to navigate these tense discussions, he also faces domestic pressure for a meaningful outcome, especially given the impact of U.S. tariffs on Canadian industries.
