Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the European Union’s State of the Union and address the European Parliament next month as relations between Canada and the United States have become strained amidst U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
“Prime Minister Carney was pleased to accept President Roberta Metsola’s invitation to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
On the margins of his address, Carney will also attend the European Union’s annual State of the Union address by the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Sept. 16, the spokesperson added.
The European Union has been a key pillar of Carney’s strategy to diversify trade as he tries to double the volume of Canada’s non-U.S. exports.

While he is in Europe, Carney will meet with members of the European Parliament “to strengthen Canada’s ties with the European Union to the benefit of both our peoples.”
A report by POLITICO, which first reported Carney’s upcoming visit, cited an EU official who said the visit would be “a strong sign of the closeness of the EU and Canada.”

Global News has reached out to von der Leyen’s office and the European Commission for comment.
Trade talks between Canada and European Union have intensified while they have collapsed between Ottawa and Washington.
“This fall, we will begin intensive discussions with the European Union, the world’s second largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership,” Carney told reporters on Monday.
During the same press conference, Carney said world leaders could draw a “lesson” from Canada’s experience navigating the trade war with the U.S.
“I would just encourage policymakers around the world to take the lesson of what we see today,” he said.
Hey look Carney is back home in the EU, no surprise there
Carney supporters believe speaking at a news conference and serving up a word salad in answer to reporters’ questions is sufficent. That’s a CEO talking to,and directing, employees – it’s not the leader of a parliamentary system government being answerable ro the electorate. That’s done by facing our elected representatives in the HoC.
He could have respectfully asked to be rescheduled at the EU and reconviened parliament here. However, that’s out of his nature, as he rarely makes it to question period in the HoC when he is in Ottawa. It is beneath him to actually follow our long-established system of accountability.
It’s been reported that he has a temper and doesn’t like being second guessed or questioned. He’s the Chair of the Board and his executive decisions are to be considered beyond the scrutiny of ordinary MPs, the media and us working peons in the electorate.
In the red light district, Karny will put on a live sex show with a donkey 🐴
He should be opening our parliament and let everybody know what went wrong.
Trying to get our trade to Europe is almost impossible you not only compete with China Asian countries and US what are our products that are going to sell them
Bureaucrats in Brussels are hard to overcome
His not going to give S$&@t about Canada when he can shine in Europe
Asides from vacationing around the globe,are Carney and the LPC ever going to accomplish anything concrete?
Oh,wait a minute, it’s the same talk big,do nothing Party that has been running the Country into the ground for the last decade.
I guess he’s too chicken to speak to our parliament about what went sideways.
Carney will reinforce his “World Economic forum” obsession to the detriment of Canada. He will embroil Canada further in NATO/European war against Russia, costing taxpayers dearly. Carney would think nothing of conscripting Canadians.
@Anonymous. Yes, trade could be diverted to Canada from the US by the EU. But you mentioned Trump. It’s not only him, it’s people like Lutnick and Navarro that surround him. People who really hate the very idea of Canada.
Running to Europe as he has not destroyed enogh in North America.
He should use AI to ser how useless he is for Society!!!
@ Ben – You are focusing on the noise around Trump. He can manipulate the margins (which still involves real jobs). The other stuff matters more. That’s why Carney said what he did.
Here’s another unknown on the margins. How much EU business is going to divert from the US to Canada?
@Anonymous. All good points. It’s just that I feel Trump doesn’t want to lose face. And honestly, I fear that we are in this for the long haul. Listened to the CBC at issue panel with Hebert, Coyne and Raj a day ago and they seem to acknowledge this. Carney even sort of apparently said this when he spoke to the Premiers last. All four are a lot more intelligent and experienced than me. Hopefully you are correct, we shall see.
Oh of course. Off and running like the scared yellow coward he is.
Clowny and Queen Charles gonna 69 nonstop
@ Ben – 80% of Canada’s trade w/ the US is unaffected. The RBC said they expect a 0.5% hit to GDP from the tariffs. Carney says that StatsCan is expecting Q2 annualized GDP growth to be 3.4% (out in early Sept). Net foreign investment in Canada is the best in 19 years already without the Major Projects Office. There’s a significant chance that pressure in the US gets Trump to back down before our counter tariffs hit. Republicans will lose the Senate if this is going on in November.
Governments can only legislate economies to fail they can’t legislate them to health. They can create the situations for health but it takes consumer confidence to make it happen.
@Anonymous. Assuming Carney, whom I support, said that, he doesn’t make sense. We will probably experience a lot of pain because spending on big projects takes some time to ramp up. I’m also guessing we won’t have a deal and we will have to wait the USA out at LEAST two years, probably more. Lots of uncertainty.
@ Ben – The key comment in Carney’s press conference was something like:
[The US] can’t take it away as fast as we can build it.
With the increase in GDP growth and foreign investment there will be a lot of successes to point to in 2029 leading to his re-election in 2030.
@Anonymous. Of course Carney is flying off to Europe. We need to grow our markets there. The reality is we should assume we have to endure this situation for at LEAST two years and expand to other markets. Not sure why any logical person would be opposed to that.
He needs to go confer with the people pulling his strings, no doubt.
The US is no longer reliable. They are making unreasonable demands.
Carney flirting with the EU. Ursula would you like to dance?
American pundits are saying that Carney is stepping up to lead the free world now that the US has backed away from that role. Canada does not have the size to do it the same way that the US did, but Carney can chair the meeting of the middle powers.
It’s become clear that the Liberals can do all manner of economic vandalism and so long as they point the finger at Trump, many Canadians will stand up and applaud.
Canada is in crisis mode on many fronts and Carney is leaving the country again. Carney loves to talk and make speeches but nothing is ever achieved. It’s going to take years to make agreements with Europe if it ever happens and in the meantime Canada is on life support. How many sacrifices will Carney make on this trip maybe he will only eat a cheese sandwich and drink coffee or will he still have luxury meals.

Carney seems intent to burn this relationship to the ground, and many Canadians who don’t have to worry about losing their jobs because of this, will applaud him for it.
If only there was a parliament here in Canada that Carney could speak at to explain what exactly happened in the negotiations that took us from “we’ve almost got a deal” to “we’re declaring economic war on the US” within 24 hours.
This is the most Carney thing ever. Fail at all your promises, refuse to reopen Canadian parliament in order to give Canadians the ability to have some oversight and then head overseas while there is a crisis at home.
Of course Carney was invited to make a speech. Captain Canada Carney and Canada are superstars who bravely stood up to the USA. If only the Poilievre conservatives would do the same…
