Carney to Address European Parliament as Canada Pivots Away From Trump
Carney will meet European lawmakers to deepen Canada-EU ties as Ottawa seeks partners beyond the United States, after trade talks collapsed and U.S. duties hit $20 billion in goods.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will be present in Strasbourg on 16 September, together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, at the annual State of the Union speech, the most important moment in the EU's political calendar. His presence comes in a tense context, marked by Donald Trump's trade conflict between Canada and the United States.
