A message to Trump. We want trusted allies, the new Prime Minister of Canada said in Paris

« Canada is the most vigorous of non -European countries, » Carney says. The new head of the Canadian government, who only took office on Friday, wants to strengthen alliances with European countries. “It is more important than ever to strengthen ties with reliable allies such as France. We need to strengthen cooperation between our countries to ensure our own safety, safety of our allies and the security of the world, ”he said.

« We must strengthen our diplomatic ties to face together an increasingly unstable and dangerous world, » he added alongside the French president. Both statesmen appeared in front of journalists before their meeting at the Elysee Palace, but did not accept questions. According to AP, this may indicate that Macron does not want to move Trump by standing directly on the side of Canada.

After a January return to the White House, Trump repeatedly questioned American Allied obligations. In addition, he imposed import duties against Canada, to which Ottawa responded with the same step. Trump has also repeatedly indicated in the past that Canada should become 51. This was strictly rejected by Carney in his manifestation in his entry into the office, saying that Canada would never become part of the US, because he is a completely different country.

The Canadian Prime Minister and the French President also emphasized that they wanted to cooperate on further support of Ukraine and European security, at a time when the White House's old -new head, among other things, is trying to negotiate peace in Ukraine directly with the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.

« We are both for sovereignty and security, as evidenced by our unwavering support for Ukraine, » Carney said. « Canada will always be ready to ensure Europe's security, » he added. At the same time, however, he expressed his wish to maintain the best possible relations with the United States.

Macron said that France and Canada are peaceful powers and will continue to require clear obligations from Russia to maintain peace in Ukraine if it is agreed. According to him, their country wants « firm and lasting peace with robust warranties that will protect Ukraine from any new Russian aggression and ensure the safety of the whole of Europe ».

Macron also responded to the meeting with Carney to the duties that Trump imposed on Canada, saying that a trade based on international rules is a more effective tool for prosperity than duties. He will head to London from Paris, where he meets British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III.
