U.S. Vice-President JD Vance and Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada met in Rome on Sunday to discuss fair trade policies and work towards resolving a dispute over tariffs. The meeting, which took place amid efforts to secure borders and combat the influx of fentanyl, also focused on increasing investments in defence and security.
In a statement released by Vance’s office, it was highlighted that both leaders emphasized the importance of collaboration and maintaining a strong economic and security relationship. Carney echoed these sentiments, stating that “we’re strongest when we work together.” The leaders agreed to stay in contact and continue working towards addressing the trade pressures facing their nations.
