Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney has decided to further strengthen ties with France as trade tensions with the United States escalate. He met with French President Emmanuel Macron during his first foreign visit and agreed to deepen cooperation between the two countries.
Carney described the increase in tariffs imposed by the United States on Canada as an "attack on Canadians." At the same time, he promised that Ottawa's retaliatory measures would have the maximum impact on the US economy and the minimum damage to Canada.
Noting the importance of strengthening relations with France, Carney said: "Today, many governments around the world are rejecting the principles of sovereignty and security. In this context, it is more important than ever for Canada to further strengthen ties with trusted allies like France."
Carney stressed that cooperation between Ottawa and Paris will be aimed at expanding diplomatic relations and increasing economic opportunities. According to the prime minister, this visit should open the door to new opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Explaining why he chose Paris for his first foreign visit, Mark Carney noted that "because Canadians love France," and described Canada as "the most European country among non-European countries."
This meeting is expected to be an important stage in the future of the strategic relationship between the two countries.
