Official Visits: Trading Licence and Trading Partner

official visits: Let unpack this, according to Globe and Mail. In less than two months, Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Minister of Defence Mohammed bin Salman made two visits to the United States to advance trade, defence and security interests. What should be worrisome to the Canadian government and business executives is that our number one trading partner – the United States – is taking full-advantage of Canada lack of interest in a $750-billion economy. On both official visits, Canada was overlooked. The Deputy Crown Prince also travelled to New York and Silicon Valley where he announced a $3.5-billion investment into Uber from the Saudi Public Investment Fund and he signed a deal with 3M, granting them a trading licence that makes them one of only three companies to be granted 100-per-cent ownership and the ability to operate and invest in the kingdom. In Washington, he met with President Barack Obama, the U.S. Secretary of Defence, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as executives of defence companies, including Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
