In an exclusive interview with DW in Montreal, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed his aims for closer ties with the EU. The outreach comes amid difficult trade talks with Donald Trump's US administration.

"The lesson we've taken, Canadians as a whole, is we're overdependent on the United States," Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said amid faltering trade talks with Donald Trump. 

In an interview with DW,  Mark Carney explains why Canada is seeking to diversify its economic and strategic partnerships.

Speaking to DW's Katharina Kroll at the Canada-EU summit in Montreal, Carney argues that closer cooperation with Europe is now a priority as Ottawa and Brussels launch a new long-term partnership initiative.
