Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, June 24, ahead of the NATO summit scheduled for July 7-8 in Ankara, Turkey. Carney's office released only a one-sentence statement about the call, providing no details of what the two leaders discussed.
The summit arrives as Trump has launched a costly war with Iran and as Ukraine gains momentum in its conflict with Russia. Carney and Trump spoke earlier this month at the G7 summit in France but did not hold a formal meeting. Carney has not always reported conversations with Trump to the public.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Canada on Thursday and Friday ahead of the NATO summit.
