U.S. President Donald Trump greeted Mark Carney with a handshake as the Canadian prime minister arrived at the White House for a high-profile meeting today.

The two are expected to talk trade and security, although their meeting comes after Trump's comments on Monday indicated the president remains committed to his aggressive tariff regime.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says that if Carney can't reach a deal to get the tariffs removed, Canada should start hitting back hard with retaliatory measures against the U.S. Some experts have tempered expectations of today's meeting resulting in any immediate suspension of tariffs.

Carney and Trump have been in frequent contact since the their first White House meeting in May.

Carney has dropped Canada's digital services tax and many retaliatory tariffs in an effort to de-escalate Trump's trade war.

Alberta Premier in Ottawa to push for federal partnership on energy projects

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is in Ottawa this week, following up on her now week-old pledge to help fund the development of a proposal for a new oil pipeline to Canada's West Coast. Smith is hopeful the project _ which as of yet has no private sector proponent or a suggested route option _ can be submitted for consideration by Prime Minister Mark Carney's new Major Projects Office by next spring. Smith met with Carney on Monday at the Ottawa airport, just before he boarded a plane to Washington, where he is to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking to reporters in a br

Alberta teachers' strike, biggest in province's history, enters day two

As a provincewide strike by Alberta's teachers enters its second day, a labour expert says in terms of sheer size, it is already making history. Jason Foster, a labour relations professor at Athabasca University, says the strike by 51,000 members of the Alberta Teachers' Association makes it the largest labour walkout in provincial history. Foster says the last teachers' strike was in 2002 and involved less than half that number, at 21,000. The current action affects more than 740,000 students across 2,500 public, separate and francophone schools. The two sides are at odds over

French PM resigns hours after naming government, plunging France further into political chaos

France's new prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, has resigned just a day after naming his government and less than a month in office.

His decision to bring back former Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire to serve at the defense ministry was particularly controversial. Other key positions were largely unchanged from the previous Cabinet with Bruno Retailleau as interior minister, Jean-Noel Barrot as foreign minister and Gerald D
