Trump Holds Trilateral Trade Talks at World Cup Event

Former U.S. President Donald Trump met with the leaders of Canada and Mexico on Friday. The talks occurred on the sidelines of the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw ceremony in Las Vegas. This was the first face-to-face meeting between Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump returned to the White House earlier this year. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has now visited Washington twice since that return. The leaders discussed North American trade relations. The private meeting focused on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). This pact is the key trade deal governing commerce between the three nations. All sides described the conversation as constructive. No immediate policy changes were announced following the discussion.
