Carney plans to 'reset' China ties. Will he end up triggering Trump?
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit Beijing on January 14, the first Canadian leader to do so in nearly a decade, aiming to reset strained relations and diversify trade beyond the US. Carney is expected to sign memoranda of understanding with China, though immediate lifting of canola tariffs is unlikely. The visit is closely watched in Washington, as Canada seeks to balance improved China ties with its US relationship amid security and human rights concerns.
