The prime minister has said the meeting will mark the beginning of a larger economic and security agreement between Canada and the U.S.
The Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade was negotiated during the first Trump administration and at the time the president called it the best deal ever.
Trump repeated his claims about Canada becoming a state during an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press” which aired over the weekend but also called Carney “a very nice man.”
