Obviously the conversation will centre on trade issues and what we want to do to protect Canadian industries and Canadian workers, at the same time building an economy in North America that is in the interest of both countries. The discussion will also talk about a series of other international issues.</p>",

Il va sans dire que la conversation portera principalement sur les enjeux commerciaux et sur les mesures que nous voulons prendre pour prot\u00e9ger les industries et les travailleurs canadiens, tout en b\u00e2tissant une \u00e9conomie nord-am\u00e9ricaine qui sert les int\u00e9r\u00eats des deux pays.
