By Emily Green, David Ljunggren and Stephen Eisenhammer MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Prime Minister Mark Carney is scrambling to save his country's relationship with Mexico after it disintegrated late last year when Canadian officials suggested they'd be better off negotiating a trade deal with the Trump administration alone.

While Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne were making the rounds in Mexico, a top White House official accused Ottawa of cozying up to China. Canada and China are the only two among roughly 90 countries to impose retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

Mexico’s president hosted senior Canadian ministers for talks after both countries were hit with new tariff threats last week.
