“The EU and Canada have a long and narrow partnership. We are solid allies and business partners. We share the same values and attachment to the Charter of the United Nations and to the international order based on rules. We will continue to work in close collaboration, including in the format of the G7, “said the president of the European Council António Costa.
Carney, who previously directed two central banks of the G7 and worked for more than a decade to Goldman Sachs, was elected Prime Minister of Canada on Monday evening, after having run in his economic file – and resisted the belligerent Trump. Carney defeated the conservative party led by Pierre Hairy, although he is still not clear if he will lead a majority or minority government.
Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof echoes Von der Leyen and the feelings of Costa. “Canada and the Netherlands share historical links and common values and work together in many areas such as trade and economics, security and defense,” he said.
“I can’t wait to continue the close cooperation between our countries and to welcome him at the top of NATO in The Hague on June 24 and 25,” added Schoof.
Former American president Joe Bid also congratulated Carney, congratulating his leadership qualities. “I am convinced that Mark will be a strong leader for the fundamental values and the interests that Canadians and Americans share,” said Biden.
Carney’s campaign focused on “Trump’s touch resistance” and uniting a country which, according to him, has witnessed an increase in patriotic feeling in response to Trump’s suggestion that Canada could become the 51st American state.
After his close electoral victory, Carney continued to give a provocative tone against the American president. “America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not inactive threats, “he said.
“President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. It will never happen,” he added.
