Canadian Prime Minister Carney to visit Mexico in September for talks with President Sheinbaum
The meeting comes as America's neighbors deal with U.S. tariffs and prepare for a review of the free trade deal between the three countries next year.
The official confirmed the visit on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Carney sent his foreign minister as well as his finance minister to meet with Sheinbaum earlier this month in a bid to diversity trade. Sheinbaum visited Canada during the G7 summit in Alberta in June.
Goods that comply with the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that U.S. President Donald Trump negotiated during his first term are excluded from the U.S. tariffs.
But Trump has some sector-specific tariffs, known as 232 tariffs, that are having an impact. There is a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports and a 25% tariff on auto imports.

U.S. Pauses Visitor Visas for Gazans After Right-Wing Outcry
The Trump administration announced Saturday that it had paused approvals of visitor visas for people from Gaza, a key pathway for those seeking medical care in the United States, including young children who arrived in recent weeks with serious conditions. The State Department said it would assess the process behind those visas. 'All visitor visas for individuals from Gaza are being stopped while we conduct a full and thorough review,' the department said in a statement on X Saturday morning. The move came after an intense lobbying campaign by the right-wing activist Laura Loomer, who called the incoming flights a 'national security threat' in a flurry of social media posts starting on Friday that targeted a nonprofit aiding in medical evacuations. Just weeks ago, the nonprofit, HEAL Palestine, an Ohio-based group that helps Palestinian families and children, began orchestrating what it called the 'largest single medical evacuation of injured children from Gaza to the U.S.,' bringing injured and ill Gazan children to the United States for care. To date, the group says it has evacuated 63 injured children for treatment, including 11, from age 6 to 15, who were flown to hospitals in nine U.S. cities this month. Many of the children had lost limbs during the conflict in Gaza. They are expected to travel to Egypt to rejoin their families once their medical care is completed, according to HEAL Palestine. The group, which was founded last year and also operates food kitchens in Gaza, did not respond to requests for comment. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
