Mark Carney urges stronger alliance between Canada and European Union at European Parliament
Addressing MEPs gathered in Strasbourg, Canada's prime minister advocated for deepened ties with the EU, making no mention of threats issued by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke on September 17 before the European Parliament assembled in Strasbourg to present his vision of a strengthened alliance between Canada and the European Union, according to Le Monde.
According to the newspaper, Mr. Carney outlined to the MEPs the benefits of closer ties between his country and Europe, without referring to repeated threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump against Canada.
Per Le Monde, the Canadian government leader enumerated several areas where increased cooperation with the EU could, in his view, be developed, though the full details of these discussions were not specified in the available excerpts of his remarks.
This address comes in a context of trade and diplomatic tensions between Washington and Ottawa, with the White House having issued multiple statements against its North American neighbor in recent months. Le Monde notes that Mr. Carney chose not to directly respond to these threats during his speech in Strasbourg.
No additional details on the precise content of agreements or negotiations being considered between Canada and the European Union were provided in the article excerpt consulted.
