Canada's newly elected prime minister will soon meet with U.S. President Donald Trump. Reaching a deal with him? That's another matter. Trump said Wednesday that Carney will visit the White House within about a week and that the PM wants to make a deal. But Carney has three major steps to get through in order to arrive at the comprehensive trade and security pact he's seeking. They are the three Ps: personnel, process and policy.
Carney and Trump have agreed to meet in person in the near future, the Prime Minister’s Office said.

It added that the two agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together — as independent, sovereign nations — for their mutual betterment.
