Trudeau, Macron a meeting of like minds, former ambassador says
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to Paris is a serious visit with a “steadfast ally,” the former Canadian ambassador to France Lawrence Cannon says.
Much of the prime minister’s two-day visit to France is expected to focus on trade as Canada looks to ease its reliance on the U.S. market.
Cannon says he doesn’t expect to see Trudeau repeat the errors that marred his recent trip to India.
“We won’t see the prime minister with a beret and a baguette under his arm,” Cannon told Radio-Canada in an interview.
Cannon, Stephen Harper’s former foreign affairs minister, served as Canada’s top diplomat in Paris for five years until last fall.
Trudeau arrived in Paris early Monday morning after a seven-hour pitstop in Ottawa to deal with the Trans Mountain pipeline crisis.
This is Trudeau’s first official visit to France and he will sit down with President Emmanuel Macron.
