Carney said his recent agreement with China merely cuts tariffs on a few sectors that were recently hit with tariffs.

Faced with new global challenges, the leaders of China and Canada pledged Friday to improve relations between their two nations after years of acrimony. Xi Jinping told visiting Prime Minister Mark Carney that he is willing to continue working to improve ties, noting that talks have been underway on restoring and restarting cooperation since the two held an initial meeting in October on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in South Korea. It can be said that our meeting last year opened a new chapter in turning ChinaCanada relations toward improvement, China's top leader said. Carney, the first Canadian prime minister to visit China in eight years, said better relations would help improve a global governance system that he described as under great strain. He called for a new relationship adapted to new global realities and cooperation in agriculture, energy and finance. Those new realities reflect in large part the so-called America-first approach of US President Donald
