Canada’s PM Carney In Europe To Work With ‘Reliable Allies’

UNITED KINGDOM – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Britain’s King Charles at Buckingham Palace on Monday after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron earlier that day in Paris.

Carney said that it was important for Canada to strengthen ties with “reliable allies” in Europe, as he met Macron for his first overseas visit amid tensions with the United States.

Carney’s decision to visit Paris and London instead of Washington, as is usual for Canadian leaders, comes after Trump shocked Western allies by imposing tariffs on their imports, questioning traditional alliances.

Trump has even floated threats of annexation for Canada or the Danish territory of Greenland since coming to office in January.
