‘He really has no choice’: Carney faces pressure to deliver in Trump trade talks

Prime Minister Mark Carney hopes to find relief for Canada’s steel and aluminum sectors during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday, according to a government source.

The trip marks Carney’s second visit to Washington since his election in April, during which time tariffs on steel, aluminum and lumber have climbed significantly.

“Obviously, there are political risks associated with going to the White House. President Zelenskyy, among others can testify to that,” said Eric Miller, a Washington-based US-Canada policy expert and President of Rideau Potomac Strategy Group said.

“From his point of view, it’s better to take the risk of political failure and go to Washington and meet with President Trump rather than sit in Ottawa and hope that something comes to him.”

Carney has been coy about his relationship with the U.S. president. Last month, he told Parliament that Trump is a “modern man” and that the two “speak regularly” and “send each other text messages.”

Former White House trade adviser Kelly Ann Shaw says leaders who forged personal relationships with Trump often had the most success dealing with him.

Still, she warns the upcoming talks between Carney and Trump are likely to be challenging.

“In order for Canada to see reductions in some of these steel and aluminum tariffs, I think a much broader deal is going to have to be struck that involves trade issues, national security issues and others,” Shaw said.

(Canada’s) Mark Carney Is Incredibly Dangerous

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4316207/posts

The 60-year-old (Mark Carney) didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. HE WAS INSTALLED — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience.

Goldman Sachs.
The Bank of Canada.
The Bank of England.
The Financial Stability Board.
The World Economic Forum.
Bilderberg.
The Trilateral Commission.
The Council for Inclusive Capitalism.

This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of Global Finance and Elite Governance. Now, he’s running a country.

Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of central bankers. He uses the sterile vocabulary of “sustainability,” “transition,” and “inclusive growth.”

But behind the euphemisms is a Blueprint for Absolute Control.

At the center of that Blueprint is the
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Carney has long supported the deployment of CBDCs, programmable money Issued and Controlled by the State.

This is infrastructure for obedience sold as innovation. Unlike physical cash, a CBDC can be tracked, restricted, AND DEACTIVATED IN REAL-TIME.

It allows the government — or its banking partners —

to Control not just HOW MUCH you spend,
BUT WHERE,
ON WHAT, and
WHETHER YOU’RE ALLOWED TO SPEND AT ALL.

The potential for abuse is staggering.

This is not paranoia.

It is already
the REALITY in China.

There, the CCP links Digital Currency to a Nationwide Social Credit System....
