Conservative MP Jamil Jivani is back in Washington Wednesday for a meeting with Canadian business interests and United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
The Canadian Embassy confirms it will have a representative in attendance.
During a previous trip to the U.S. capital earlier in the year, Jivani met his longtime friend Vice-President JD Vance and stopped by the White House, where he said he met briefly with President Donald Trump.

After that trip, which also included a meeting with Greer, Jivani said he wanted to contribute to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s efforts to negotiate a new trade deal with the Trump administration.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre publicly rebuked Jivani after his last trip south of the border, saying the Ontario MP speaks only for himself and not the party.
Poilievre, who did not visit Washington during his recent American trip, says he doesn’t have any information to share about why Jivani is in the U.S. capital Wednesday, but adds Conservatives have been fighting for tariff-free trade.
