The president of the United States, Donald Trump, assured this Friday that he has very good relations with his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, shortly before meeting with both within the 2026 World Cup draw program, which the three countries will host.
“We are going to meet with both of them and we are getting along very well. (…) We have a meeting scheduled for sometime after the event. We will talk today. We get along very well,” Trump told the press upon his arrival on the red carpet of the Kennedy Center in Washington, headquarters of the sporting event.
The three North American leaders will meet for the first time in the same space at the ceremony, after which they are expected to hold brief bilateral meetings, although the possibility of a tripartite conversation has not been ruled out.

Sheinbaum and Trump will meet for the first time
The Washington dialogues will occur after this Wednesday Trump indicated that he will possibly let the T-MEC, a free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada, expire, and that he will seek a new trade agreement with his neighbors.
This meeting will also mark the first face to face between Trump and Sheinbaum, who were scheduled to meet during the G7 summit in Canada last June, in a bilateral that did not occur because the American returned to Washington a day earlier to focus on the crisis with Iran.
For his part, Carney will try to redirect relations with his neighbor after the Republican president suspended trade negotiations in October in retaliation for the broadcast on television of a Canadian advertisement against US tariffs.
