Mark Carney: Canadian prime minister’s first foreign visits

Two European politicians, wearing symbolic clothes in red and white, sent a message last week to Canada on social media, announcing, “We got your back.”
The support that indicates the support was King Charles, who planted the red maple tree on the land of Buckingham Palace and wore his Canadian medals during a prominent visit to a marine warship.
When the new Prime Minister in Canada, Mark Carne, goes on his first foreign visit to Paris and London on Monday – a day after his sixtieth birthday – he hopes to achieve more than a symbolic encouragement. He wants strong support from the allies.
Not only Canada, like Europe, is targeted through a set of US tariffs, but Donald Trump shows that he wants to take over his northern neighbor.
“We appreciate all symbolic gestures, but we need more general support,” a Canadian official told me with a voice that confirmed the nervous disbelief that most Canadians share – Trump is not joking when Canada is called the “51st state” in the United States.
The official correspondence from Ottawa on the Carney trip, which begins on Monday, confirms his priorities – financing and security fortification – and is suitable for the economist who headed the central bank in Canada and Britain. A statement from his office said that his visit aims to “strengthen two of the nearest and longest economic and security partnerships.”
Its line is full of great symbolism.
Carney revealed this on Friday during his first speech as prime minister when he heard again – with brilliant polishing – of the origins of this previous colony. He praised “the wonder of a country built on the basis of three peoples: the original, the French and the British.”
Therefore, there is a third destination in this whistle-round tour, the capital of the Nonavot lands in the far north of Nonavot in Canada. The statement stressed that this stop is “reaffirming the security and sovereignty in Canada.”
The amazing northern pole and the northern terrain constitute 40 % of the Earth’s mass in the second largest country in the world. Its protection is a great concern in the midst of intense competition between global powers in the Arctic region, which was attracted in the United States, Russia, China and more; It is the Cold War of all cold wars.
There is a personal development. Carney was born in the small town of Fort Smith in the northwestern territories, which is located next to Nonavot.
His agenda confirms that he also needs to be a quick study in a new skill – retail policy. It is expected that the federal elections, which must be held by October. Carney needs to prove that he can deal with voters, in English and French, naturally as he does with bankers and financing heads.
It needs an appropriate political mandate. He got 86 % of the sounds when his liberal party chose Justin Trudeau, Which stepped as prime minister Amid increasing calls to resign from his party after a decade at the top.
But Carney has no seat in Parliament. He still does not have Canadian vote.
His liberal party suffered a dramatic reflection, “Trump stumbling” in addition to Trudeau. The party, which seemed to be certain, will lose and lose strongly, is now linked to its main conservative competitors in the polls.
It looks like a global leader, and an understanding of the world of definitions and trade, is a good look when you nominate the top positions in the dark shade of an external threat.
“I think part of the purpose of Mark Carney’s trip to Europe is to show that he can speak internationally to other similar powers in thinking about this very important moment,” reflects the prominent Canadian historian Margaret McMilalan.
At home, voters will decide whether this is what matters.
Carney is certainly talking about Trump’s tactics, separately, with France President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer. They have made great pain in the American president in public places, and put pressure on their case behind closed doors.
Many will watch to find out how Trump addresses Mark Carney – recently referred to the former Prime Minister in Canada in the name of “Governor Trudeau”.
He was the best new speaker in Canada to speak strongly.
A week ago, when Carney won his party’s leadership competition, he called national sport in Canada, the ice hockey, who was long imprisoned in competition with the United States teams. Carney announced that “Canadians are always ready when someone else falls.”
“Don’t make mistakes, Canada will win.”
But everyone knows this is not a game. Carney described this escalating trade war as “the greatest crisis in our lives.” More than 80 % of Canada exports cross the border to the United States.
Although there were a few reports that Canadians who were flying the United States flag, a poll conducted by the Angus Reed Institute confirmed that 91 % of Canadians refuse to become the state 51.
On Friday, in Ottawa ice weather, Carney hit a warmer tone, highlighting how he and Trump shared in a business background, including real estate.
“The president is a successful businessman and maker. We are his largest agent in many industries,” he said. “Customers expect respect and work together in an appropriate commercial way.”
Carney says he is “looking” to talking to President Trump. But the fact that it will be an invitation, not a visit, is a measure of this moment. Traditionally, the first foreign visit to a Canadian leader is to the United States – its closest neighbors and its most trusted partner.
On Monday, Carney is expected to sit with King Charles, President of Canada. The British monarch recently expressed “the deepest affection” of Canada, and is said to have already formulated a special leader of the new prime minister.
In its non -political role, the showing of love in public places may be the limits of the king’s strength. But even this sends a message to the American president.
Sir Care Canada described it as “an ally and a very important ally.” But last week, the President of the British liberal Democrats, Ed Davi, invited him to show more general support for Canada to oppose “shocking attacks” on her sovereignty.
This may be a week of this old proverb in diplomacy and politics – “to do something and see that he is doing it.”
