Canadian Prime Minister Carney Looks to Strengthen Alliances with Europe Amid US Tensions
ai generated text
Carney believes that Canada's economy and sovereignty are under threat from the US, and therefore, strengthening relationships with European nations is crucial. Notably, Carney's first foreign visit as Prime Minister was to Paris, where he met with President Emmanuel Macron.
President Zelenskyy has been invited to the G7 meeting in Alberta in June.
I want to ensure that France, and the whole of Europe, works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries, and at the same time resolutely North American, determined, like you, to maintain the most positive relations possible with the United States.
We both stand for sovereignty and security demonstrated by our unwavering support for Ukraine under your leadership.
It is more important than ever for Canada to reinforce its ties with reliable allies like France.
In the current international context, we want to be able to develop our most strategic projects with our closest, more loyal partners.
I think we both believe that fair trade that respects international rules is good for everyone's prosperity, and is certainly more effective than tariffs.
President Trump's aggressive talk about both Canada and Greenland and the apparent rapprochement between Russia, a strong Arctic power, and the United States under Trump have increased anxieties about our control over this remote yet highly strategic region.

As (former prime minister Justin) Trudeau's treatment shows, all that results in is a crude attempt by Trump to humiliate his guests.
