00:00Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will visit U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
00:08The upcoming high-stakes meeting comes as Trump continues his trade war and annexation threats.
00:15It also follows the Carney-Liberal Party's stunning victory in Tuesday's vote, which was widely seen as a rebuke of Trump.
00:23On Tuesday, I had a very constructive call with President Trump, and we agreed to meet next Tuesday in Washington.
00:32Our focus will be on both immediate trade pressures and the broader future economic and security relationship between our two sovereign nations.
00:43My government will fight to get the best deal for Canada.
00:46We will take all the time necessary, but not more, in order to do so.
00:51Carney's comments on Friday were his first since election night.
00:56He said Canadians elected a new government to stand up to Trump and build a strong economy.
