Carney to Address EU Allies as Trump Trade Tensions Escalate

Canada’s leader, Mark Carney, plans to visit European lawmakers.

He will speak at the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Sept.

17.

The day before, he is expected to attend a speech by Ursula von der Leyen.

She leads the European Commission.

Carney wants Canada to build closer relationships with European Union countries.

This comes as Canada’s trade disagreement with the United States is becoming more difficult.

The disagreement involves pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney hopes stronger European ties will give Canada more support.
