PARIS, March 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney in Paris on Monday said his country needed to "reinforce its ties with reliable allies like France" as relations with the United States unravel under Donald Trump.

"I want to ensure that France and the whole of Europe works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries, determined like you to maintain the most positive possible relations with the United States," he added during a joint statement with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace on his first trip abroad since becoming prime minister on Friday.
