Why Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s chooses Europe for his first foreign visit | DW News

Instead of visiting the United States, Canada's new prime minister, Mark Carney, has travelled to Europe for his first foreign visit. This comes as US president Donald Trump has attacked Canada's sovereignty and economy. Carney's first stop was Paris where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron, before heading to the UK. Carney said he is looking for Canada to strengthen ties with reliable allies. Carney has no plans to visit Washington at the moment, but says he will do if Donald Trump shows respect for Canada's sovereignty. At the same time, he underlined the importance of Canadian and European ties with the United States. 00:00 Canadian PM in Europe to work with 'reliable allies' 02:31 Hamish Telford, University of the Fraser Valley #canada #carney #trump For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
