Story summary

Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, is scheduled to meet Andy Burnham, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, in Liverpool during a three-day European trip starting on Tuesday. This will be their first in-person meeting since Carney congratulated Burnham when he took office on July 20, 2026. The leaders plan to discuss Canada-U.K. relations on topics such as defence and security, energy, artificial intelligence (AI), and critical minerals.

Burnham succeeded Keir Starmer after a series of leadership changes in the UK, with four prime ministers holding office over the past four years, including former Conservative leaders Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, who each struggled to maintain stability. Burnham, a former mayor of Greater Manchester, won a Labour Party leadership race.

On September 16, 2026, Carney and Burnham also met earlier in northern England where they addressed AI challenges and stressed the importance of cooperation between governments and tech sectors for online safety. Additionally, both leaders discussed opportunities for defence industrial collaboration through the Global Combat Air Programme, an advanced fighter jet project Canada joined as an observer in July 2026.
