Carney will address the European Parliament next month
Prime Minister Mark Carney will also attend the European Union’s annual State of the Union address by the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to visit the European Parliament in September as Canada's relations with the United States have become tense due to President Donald Trump's trade war. Carney accepted an invitation from President Roberta Metsola to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. His visit will coincide with the European Union's annual State of the Union address by Ursula von der Leyen on September 16.
The European Union, a crucial ally in Canada's strategy to diversify trade, will strengthen Canada's ties with the European Union. Carney aims to double the non-U.S. exports of Canada during his European tour, and his visit is seen as a strong indication of the closeness between the EU and Canada.
