Carney’s European Alliances: Countering Trump, Boosting Canada
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first foreign trip prioritizes strengthening alliances with France and the U.K. amidst President Trump’s aggressive trade policies and threats to Canadian sovereignty. His meetings in Paris and London aim to diversify trade and potentially coordinate responses to U.S. tariffs. The trip also includes a visit to Canada’s Arctic to reaffirm its sovereignty in the region, a concern heightened by Trump’s actions. While avoiding a Washington visit, Carney seeks to de-escalate tensions through future communication with President Trump.
