Canadian prime minister Mark Carney and Donald Trump's first phone call will take place this morning, a source with knowledge of the matter has told Radio-Canada.

It will be their first conversation as leaders and comes days after Trump announced plans to impose sweeping 25% tariffs on cars from overseas, a move Carney condemned as a direct attack" on Canadian workers. Trump later threatened further tariffs if the EU worked with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA". Carney said:

We will defend our workers, we will defend our companies, we will defend our country, and we will defend it together.

I'm available for a call, but you know, we're going to talk on our terms as a sovereign country, not as what he pretends we are.
