President Donald Trump is set to meet Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

The potentially explosive meeting come as the relationship between the U.S. and its neighbor has been undermined by the president’s tariffs and talk of annexing Canada as the ’51st state.’

Carney’s Liberal Party won an April 28 election on the back of promises to tackle Trump.

Canada is the U.S.’s second-largest individual trading partner after Mexico, and the largest export market for U.S. goods.

Trump to meet Canada PM at White House amid tariff war and ’51st state’ row

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney meets Donald Trump on Tuesday for the first time since he won reelection on a pledge to stand up to the US president’s tariffs and threats to annex the United States’ northern neighbor.

The 60-year-old Liberal Party leader has said that things cannot be the same with the United States under Trump, and warned not to expect any immediate agreements from the meeting at the White House.

Trump has sparked a major trade war with Canada, which counts the United States as its main ally and trading partner, while repeatedly making calls for Canada to become the 51st US state.

Trump called Carney a ‘very nice gentleman’ after they spoke last week but said on Monday that he was ‘not sure’ what Carney wanted to talk about. Trump said:

He’s coming to see me. I’m not sure what he wants to see me about, but I guess he wants to make a deal. Everybody does.

Trump is set to welcome Carney at 11:30am, followed by lunch and then a meeting in the Oval Office.
