PM Carney’s Office Offers Few Details on Call with Trump Before NATO Summit
Carney’s office gave no details on the call as Turkey prepares to host the alliance summit and Ukraine and Iran remain key issues.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with President Donald Trump in advance of next month's NATO summit, coordinating ahead of the gathering in Ankara, Turkey.
Carney's office issued a one-sentence statement regarding the conversation, providing no details; the two leaders previously spoke at a summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, earlier this month.
The summit approaches as President Donald Trump launched a costly war with Iran, while Ukraine continues to gain momentum in the ongoing war with Russia.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Canada on Thursday and Friday ahead of the summit; Turkey will host the annual NATO event in Ankara from July 7 to July 8.
NATO leaders will convene in Ankara to address pressing security concerns, using the summit as a critical forum for discussing conflicts involving Russia and Iran.
