According to a statement made on Mon, Nov 18, 2025, by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney , Wiseman will play a vital role in managing Canada’s relationship with the US. This relationship has been affected by tariffs imposed by the US administration.

Prime Minister Carney emphasized that Wiseman will contribute significantly to advancing Canada-US priorities, including ensuring secure borders and enhancing trade and investment relations.

Relations between Canada and the US experienced tension following a trade war initiated by the US, which included several rounds of tariffs targeting Canadian goods. These tariffs included a 25 percent levy on various imports, affecting Canada significantly.

Despite data indicating minimal fentanyl smuggling across the US-Canada border, the US imposed tariffs on automobiles, steel, and aluminum imports, which affected Canada disproportionately.

In August 2025, agreements were reached between President Trump and Prime Minister Carney to roll back some of these measures. However, a comprehensive agreement remains pending.

Upcoming discussions are planned to renegotiate the terms of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which exempts several key products from tariffs under current US policies. These discussions are scheduled to commence in mid-January.

Canada remains the primary export destination for 36 US states, with nearly $2.7 billion worth of goods and services crossing the border daily. Prime Minister Carney has expressed Canada's commitment to defending its economic interests, while acknowledging that US policy decisions are beyond Canada's control.
