OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump today in advance of the NATO summit next month.

Carney’s office issued a one-sentence statement about today’s call that does not say what the two leaders discussed.

Turkey will host the annual summit July 7 to 8 in its capital Ankara.

The summit comes after Trump launched a costly war with Iran and as Ukraine gains momentum in the war with Russia.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will visit Canada on Thursday and Friday ahead of the NATO summit.

Carney and Trump spoke to each other this month at the G7 summit in France but did not have a formal meeting, and Carney has not always reported his conversations with Trump.
