Prime Minister Mark Karn is organizing a meeting with Canada’s premiers on Friday.
The Prime Minister’s Office and NT Natario Premier Dug Ford confirmed the details of the meeting.
Carne’s main press secretary, Re Drare Champox says the Prime Minister is clear that the top priorities for his government are the US. Includes unjust trade actions, supporting workers and strengthening the economy.
“He committed during his leadership campaign that he would work with the premiere to do so and convene the first ministers meeting at the initial opportunity, which is now scheduled this Friday,” Champox said in a statement.
“The meeting will be the opportunity to discuss the next work for Premier and Prime Minister Carne, in which they will work in collaboration with how they create a Canadian economy instead of 13.”
The meeting comes because Carne is expected to call elections only days or weeks.

Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s final meetings with the premiere of Premiers, which were held on March 14 before taking the oath of Carney, focused on US tariffs.
Carne will meet with the Prime Minister’s Advisory Council and the Cabinet Committee on Canada-US relations on Wednesday.
US President Donald Trump’s trade war rose last week as the US imposed a 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imports entering the country, asking Canada to increase tariffs in exchange for US goods.
Trump has also repeatedly suggested that Canada should become the 51st state.
