Thank you, Prime Minister @andyburnham, for the warm welcome to Liverpool. Canada and the United Kingdom are the closest of friends — with shared history and ambition. Right now, we have an enormous opportunity to build together with the right values — in AI, defence, trade, and beyond. We’re going to seize it.

It has been a privilege to work alongside Sir Keir Starmer as he has led international efforts to support Ukraine through the Coalition of the Willing, strengthen NATO, improve Arctic cooperation, and deepen the historic partnership between Canada and the United Kingdom. Throughout, and in the face of exceptional challenges, Keir has acted with principle, determination, and collaboration. The world is safer and allies are more united because of his efforts. Keir, thank you for your lifetime of public service. I am grateful for your friendship, and I wish you all the best as you concentrate on your "most important job.”

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.   On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.
