Incoming Canadian prime minister Mark Carney says he’s ready to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump under the right circumstances and acknowledged the various concerns cited by the president for implementing tariffs on Canada in recent days.

Carney made the comments during a stop at a steel factory in Hamilton, Ont., on March 12, the same day universal 25 percent U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum came into force. Ottawa responded by announcing nearly $30 billion worth of tariffs on U.S. goods.
