WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese congratulated each other on election wins attributed to voters’ concern about the influence of U.S. President Donald Trump, Carney’s office said on Monday.
“Prime Minister Carney underscored the many areas of close cooperation between Canada and Australia, particularly in trade, defence, and maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific,” said the statement on Sunday’s call.
