France's envoy says Carney admired for response to 'extremely radical' U.S.
France’s ambassador praised Carney’s response to U.S. trade pressure and urged faster progress on a Canada-EU partnership ahead of a summit later this month.
- French Ambassador Hélène Farnaud-Defromont told The Canadian Press on Friday that France admires Prime Minister Mark Carney's "exemplary" response to "extremely radical" American trade demands.
- Prime Minister Carney halted trade talks with Washington in August, accusing the President Donald Trump administration of introducing last-minute demands while vowing to protect Canada's language sovereignty.
- Ambassador Farnaud-Defromont said France seeks "win-win" cooperation with Canada in aerospace, defense, energy, quantum technology, and artificial intelligence, viewing it as a "very important and preferred partner."
- Canada and the European Union will hold a bilateral summit later this month to discuss a proposed partnership. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen framed this as "associate" membership, though Carney prefers an "alliance of the future."
- France is one of 10 European Union countries that never ratified a trade deal with Canada. Farnaud-Defromont emphasized "concrete outcomes" matter more than diplomatic phrasing, urging swift action.
