Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is actually a former Bank of England governor, not currently in office, claims to be still regularly speaking with U.S. President Donald Trump, despite a recent trade rift between the two countries. The conversations have reportedly focused on global events, including conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, which are impacting international energy and grain markets. This is significant because negotiations over tariffs between Canada and the U.S. broke down last month, with each side blaming the other for the collapse of talks. As a result, the U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on hundreds of Canadian goods, while Canada retaliated with its own tariffs.
