The BC government has expressed the possibility of no immediate agreement to end the trade war during Carney’s visit to the White House. The province’s Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said that we are not expecting any agreement and we are also assuming that any agreement made by President Trump can be changed with a tweet the next day.

Kahlon said that the reality is that no matter what the negotiations are, our old relationship with the United States has changed. He said that he does not expect the prime minister to come back and say that everything is fine. Kahlon said that we have to be prepared for the challenges that will come after this.

He said that Trump has done nothing but chaos in most of his 100 days in office, so the BC government has been forced to introduce legislation to take immediate action.
