Carney visits Europe, not USA, for first foreign trip

And Charles hosted him too before Trump. That will make him feel less special too. With Trump distancing himself Europe and Canada will have to pull together like never before.

I imagine he'd be concerned about being detained if he visited the US.

We know who are friends might be. At minimum, common 'interests'.

A grown up politician. How refreshing

michelleg21.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think they just released the Canadian though, so that’s good news! lol

tynegal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why on earth would he go to the USA in the current political climate? Trump rants on about making Canada the 51st state and tried to humilate his predecessor.

Felon Don the bone-spur coward, tries to bully smaller nations like Canada, Panama and Greenland. Why doesn't he try threatening China. A lot of Fentanyl comes from China.

Not sure what he would do in the US to be honest.

To get abuse from Donald Trump?

Abducted by ICE and sent to a prison in El Salvador

I am feeling a very slight twinge over my upcoming business trip to Florida... 😬

Hello Mr Carney, welcome!

julieannamac.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good for him, they would only try to humiliate him in the us.

thehoodedclaw.bsky.social•2 days ago

World is quickly moving on. USA now out of the loop under many headings only able to influence by shouting from the sidelines. The Bully is being challenged and looks weaker every day.

hookersandwhiskey.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you were him would you go just so some fat guy can say 'they disrespected us' ?

yogavidya.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why on earth should his first visit be to an enemy country?

vishva.bsky.social•2 days ago

Given that half of Canada is British and the other half French, it is apt that the first destinations on a new Canadian prime minister's foreign trip should be UK and France. The U.S. may even have a lower priority for him than India.

America can no longer be trusted.

kaybell27.bsky.social•2 days ago

Further evidence of an increasingly solid relationship between Canada and the EU, and a reaffirmation that Trump has alienated a once key ally.

Rather gratifying that both Zelenskyy & Carney will have time with HRH Charlie long before #AgentOrange gets the opportunity.

Agent Felon Orange can go kiss Putin's ass.

Family first. The nasty neighbor can wait.

Carney’s trip proves that Canada can no longer play business as usual. Trump is using economic blackmail and undermining sovereignty. If Europe gets bogged down in symbolism, it gives Trump free rein to intimidate further. #WakeUpEurope #StandWithCanada

bluetickatbluesky.bsky.social•2 days ago

He will received a warm welcome, unlike #Trump.

realdaveebright.bsky.social•1 day ago

He should never visit the US. and every other country should follow suit and not allow tRump to visit due to his felony convictions

tomoljenkins.bsky.social•2 days ago

and France before UK😉

coletteaustin.bsky.social•2 days ago

Quite right, too! France is absolutely at the heart of Europe (and Germany seems to be on the way back too). We (UK) virtually sidelined ourselves by Brexiting. A few summits and zoom calls, even a leading contribution to a peacekeeping force, won't restore the UK's international standing.

bronwenjones.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well, to be fair, the invitation by the UK for a state visit to Canada's sovereign did go down like a bucket of sick. As did Starmer refusing to answer "Should Canada be the 51st state?" and Lammy's refusal to say the US should knock it off, instead opting for "Canada will remain independent."

tomoljenkins.bsky.social•1 day ago

@mark-carney.bsky.social : (in FR) "Canadians love France, that's why my first visit as Prime MInister if here".

nancyspantsbelt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Smart!

politicalview.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't go to the US if i were him, ... and running the risk of being detained and deported?
Thanks but no thanks!
