Canadian PM Mark Carney arrives in US for high-stakes meeting with Trump

Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, won the job with a promise to confront increased aggression shown by President Donald Trump — and he will have the opportunity to do that in a face-to-face Oval Office meeting.
Mr Trump has shattered a decades-old alliance by saying he wants to make Canada the 51st US state and levying steep tariffs against an essential partner in the manufacturing of autos and the supply of oil, electricity and other goods.
