In his second trip since winning office in April, the 60-year-old former banker will seek to restore bilateral relations and discuss "shared priorities in a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the US," Ottawa said in a statement ahead of the visit.

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed the visit, saying on Monday: "I'm sure trade will be a topic of discussion tomorrow, and all of the other issues that are facing both Canada and the United States."
