Prime Minister Mark Carney will hold a press conference on Friday morning, the first time he takes media questions since the liberals won the federal elections on Monday.
At the press conference, scheduled for 11 in the morning in Ottawa, Car Paney is expected to talk about the first priorities of her government.
It is also likely to address the moment of a first meeting with US President Donald Trump. Carney made the negotiations with Trump a cornerstone of her campaign, arguing that she would be the best to walk to Canada through a commercial war with the annexationist threats of the United States and Trump.
Trump said Wednesday that Carney would visit the White House “within next week or less.”
The prime minister’s office has not yet commented on that timeline. But in a reading of a call between Carney and Trump that happened on Tuesday, the PMO said that the two leaders “agreed to meet in the near future.”
The liberals won 168 seats in federal elections, not the 172 that are required for a majority in Parliament. The conservative party won 144 seats.
Carney won the elected office for the first time at the Ottawa Riding of Nepean.
The new prime minister has been holding meetings and making calls, some with foreign leaders, this week. A cabinet is expected to name before the Parliament will be scheduled to resume the week of May 26.
