Carney calls White House discussions with Trump ‘constructive,’ but no resolution on tariffs

What Lies Ahead for Carney as the New Prime Minister?

Today marked a significant milestone for the newly elected prime minister, but it is just the beginning of a series of important events on Carney’s agenda.

Tomorrow, Carney will virtually meet with the premiers, who are likely eager to hear more about the closed-door meeting with Trump. It remains to be seen if Carney will be willing to share any details from that meeting.

One of the immediate tasks at hand for Carney is to select his new cabinet. He has informed reporters that the swearing-in ceremony will take place during the week of May 12, which is just around the corner.

Furthermore, the House of Commons is scheduled to open for the 45th Parliament on May 26, with King Charles delivering the speech from the throne the following day. This will be followed by a crucial vote of confidence for Carney and his minority government.

In addition, Carney is expected to introduce a budget before the summer recess. This will be an important opportunity for the new government to outline its financial priorities and policy direction.

Looking ahead, the G7 summit is set to take place on June 15-17 in Alberta. Carney has confirmed that Trump will be attending the summit in person, adding another high-profile event to his already busy schedule.
