| I want to take you now to the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, to the 1600 block, for a look at the week ahead. | ||
| The White House notice reporter Jasmine Wright joins us from there. | ||
| Jasmine Wright, last week, the focus over there at the White House was the president's first 100 days. | ||
| What is on the president's agenda this week? | ||
| Yeah, well, the president will be talking up trade big time here at the White House. | ||
| We know that officials from Canada will be visiting. | ||
| That PM that was just elected will be visiting. | ||
| There'll be other discussions, really, as the White House is searching for a win on the economy. | ||
| They recognize, despite all the bluster that we heard from President Trump over the weekend and his allies, they recognize that the American people are looking for some answers when it comes to the economy. | ||
| And so they will be focusing on trade as they try to push through these trade agreements that started after those tariffs were put in place and those paws, those reciprocal tariffs. | ||
| Now, I asked the White House yesterday to talk about where they were on them. | ||
| And Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, was in the briefing room last week, and he said that it was the Asian countries like India, like Japan, like South Korea that were actually showing the most progress. | ||
| And so asked yesterday in an interview when those trade deals will be, they'll be able to be announced. | ||
| Donald Trump wasn't exactly forthcoming, but we know just talking to people inside the building that they're working on it and that some of them are actually relatively close. | ||
| The question, John, is going to be, what's in the details? | ||
| So let's delve in more into Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit from Canada. | ||
| That's tomorrow at the White House. | ||
| Are we going to get one of those joint news conferences and what will be considered a successful visit in the eyes of the Trump administration? | ||
| Yeah, it's unclear if we're going to get a news conference. | ||
| Actually, I think if you look at the past few times when foreign leaders would come in to talk specifically about trade, there haven't been press conferences that we saw in the first few weeks of the administration, but they have been those kind of extended Oval Office visits where reporters get to go into the Oval Office and ask both of the leaders of those countries different questions. | ||
| And so I think that we can probably expect that. | ||
| No word on a news conference. | ||
| But I think what amounts to a win, frankly, for this administration is kind of a nice visit. | ||
| Obviously, Carney and Trump have traded kind of striking words in the past. | ||
| There is some thought that Carney is only in office because of this mandate that the Canadian people gave to him to basically obstruct Donald Trump after the president has been talking about making Canada the 51st state, that America doesn't need to give money to Canada and obviously putting in all these tariffs when it comes to auto tariffs and other issues, tariffs on fentanyl. | ||
| And so I think kind of just a nice visit where they can talk about trade in a positive and professional way would be a nice visit for these two. | ||
| Obviously, this is going to be the second time that they've spoken since Carney was elected into office, but it'll be the first time that the two gentlemen meet in person. | ||
| Do you think that there's some pressure here from back home for Mark Carney to be somewhat on the offensive in this Oval Office interview? | ||
| I mean, on issues like trade and not offensive, but to have an aggressive posture here? | ||
| I think absolutely. | ||
| I mean, if you just look at the trajectory of the Canadian race from two months ago when Mark Carney's or when the party that did not win was actually more favored to win versus now, |
