Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania recently met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, joining other Democratic leaders like Pete Buttigieg and Elissa Slotkin in engaging with Carney. The meeting, confirmed by Shapiro&#8217;s office and first reported by Politico, took place in June and lasted about 30 to 40 minutes. Shapiro emphasized the importance of respecting Canadian sovereignty while <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >maintaining strong trade relations<\/a>, noting that pennsylvania exports and imports around $14 billion annually with Canada. This diplomatically significant interaction may bolster Shapiro&#8217;s prospects for a 2028 presidential run, as he and other Democrats deepen connections with Canadian officials. The article also notes that other politicians, such as Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ruben Gallego, have gained international visibility through their participation in events like the World Economic Forum and Munich Security Conference, hinting at their possible presidential ambitions. Additionally, the piece briefly mentions that the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/josh-shapiro\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"5122\">Josh Shapiro<\/a> (D-PA) joined the likes of former Transportation Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-buttigieg\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"410\">Pete Buttigieg<\/a> and Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elissa-slotkin\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11673\">Elissa Slotkin<\/a> (D-MI) this month, becoming the latest Democratic leader to meet with Canadian Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mark-carney\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11724\">Mark Carney<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> has had an up-and-down relationship with Carney throughout his time in office, made contentious by Trump\u2019s tariffs and his recurring suggestions to make Canada the<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3389944\/trump-51st-state-mark-carney-canada-election\/\"> 51st state<\/a>.
