Canada remains a priority, the ambassador said, and pointed to the fact the meeting took place within a matter of days and not weeks or months after Carney’s election. Senior members of the Trump administration were in attendance, he said, including Vice-President JD Vance, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State Marco Rubio as well as Jamieson Greer, his trade representative, and Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff.
