Carney Eyes Mid-September Visit to Mexico Amid Strained US Ties

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is planning to visit Mexico on September 18, as he aims to bolster trade and diplomatic ties with the country. This visit comes amid strained relations between Mexico and the United States, with the US imposing punishing tariffs on Mexican goods. The visit is seen as an effort by Carney to strengthen Canada's relationship with Mexico, as the two countries work to navigate the challenges posed by the US tariffs. Mexico is a key trading partner for both Canada and the US, and the visit is likely to focus on finding ways to mitigate the impact of the tariffs and explore new opportunities for economic cooperation. The visit is also expected to touch on broader regional issues, as Canada, Mexico, and the US work to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The successful renegotiation of NAFTA is a priority for all three countries, and Carney's visit to Mexico is seen as an important step in this process.
