Paris, France – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Paris to engage in high-level discussions with European allies as tensions escalate due to an ongoing U.S. trade war. The visit comes at a critical time as Canada seeks to strengthen economic ties with Europe while navigating increasing trade restrictions imposed by Washington.
PM Carney is expected to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and other key European leaders to discuss strategies for mitigating the economic impact of U.S. tariffs. The discussions will focus on trade diversification, economic cooperation, and reinforcing the Canada-EU trade agreement (CETA) to counter disruptions caused by U.S. policies.
Speaking ahead of the meetings, Carney emphasized the need for strong international partnerships to ensure economic stability. “Canada remains committed to working closely with its European allies to uphold free and fair trade,” he stated.
The U.S. trade war has placed significant pressure on global markets, with industries in Canada and Europe facing supply chain disruptions and increased costs. Analysts see Carney’s visit as a strategic move to position Canada as a key player in a shifting global economic landscape.
More updates are expected as discussions progress in Paris.
