Carney meets UK Prime Minister Burnham for first time in Liverpool

Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham for the first time during a three-day trip to Europe focused on defence, energy and economic ties. The meeting will take place in Liverpool, where the leaders will discuss Canada-U.K. relations on security, energy, artificial intelligence and critical minerals. Burnham became the U.K.'s fourth prime minister in four years after Keir Starmer was forced out by his own party. Carney will also address the European Parliament in Strasbourg and attend the State of the European Union address. The trip comes as Canada deepens ties with Europe amid worsening relations with the U.S., including new counter tariffs on American goods.
