Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron did not take journalists’ questions, and a joint news conference was not scheduled with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, either. An official familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the Canadians proposed a press conference in Paris but the French declined.
Starmer has called Canada a friend and ally of the United Kingdom but has declined to directly call out Trump’s talk of annexation — though he went further than he has before by stressing Canada’s sovereignty.
“The relationship between our two countries has always been strong,” Starmer told Carney inside the British leader’s 10 Downing St. residence. “Two sovereign allies, so much in common — a shared history, shared values, shared king.”
Carney said the relationship between the two countries is “built on shared values” and noted that “we’re at a point in history where the world is being reordered.”
Macron did not address Trump’s attacks on Canada ahead of their talks but noted that tariffs only bring inflation and damage to supply chains.
