- Carney held several informal discussions with Trump during the G7 summit in France, even though no official bilateral meeting was scheduled
- The informal talks covered the economy, artificial intelligence, Ukraine and the US-Iran peace deal
Why it matters: Carney and Trump connected on four major policy areas — including the US-Iran peace deal and Ukraine — through informal channels at the G7, bypassing the usual formal bilateral format. For Canada, the inclusion of Iran on the agenda signals Ottawa is being kept in the loop on a major US foreign policy file.
