British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, expressed his appreciation for an international dialogue on trade and collaboration during a call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, according to a statement from Starmer's office.
"The prime minister highlighted the significance of trade and collaboration among allies and partners in light of recent global events," read a statement from Downing Street summarizing the call.
Additionally, discussions between the two leaders encompassed the robust trading relationship shared between the UK and Canada.
In relation to recent developments, on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump postponed tariffs on Canada, which were set to take effect, following Trudeau's commitment to strengthen border enforcement measures.
While the UK has evaded tariff threats so far, Trump criticized Britain's trade stance, mentioning that the issues could potentially be resolved through negotiation.
