Carney announces a September 15–17 visit to Strasbourg and Liverpool
The trip is to include an address to the European Parliament and a meeting with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
Announced September 12; travel scheduled for September 15–17.
Mark Carney is due to visit Strasbourg and Liverpool on September 15–17. His office announces a European Parliament address and attendance at Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union speech. [1]
In Liverpool, talks with Andy Burnham are to include defence, energy, critical minerals and AI. The statement announces objectives; the discussions are still ahead. [1]
The Canadian Press describes the British engagement as their first meeting since Burnham became prime minister in July. Its report places the trip within Canadian efforts to develop European relationships amid difficult trade relations with the United States. [2]
Assessing the trip’s results will require comparing its stated aims with decisions published after the talks. An announced visit and an existing partnership do not, by themselves, establish new economic commitments. [2]
