Poilievre Announces Trip to London and Germany

OTTAWA Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced plans for his first official international trip as opposition leader, a visit to London and Germany next week focused on meetings with lawmakers and business figures alongside speeches on transatlantic ties and energy security. The itinerary, set to begin Monday, comes amid Poilievre's recent push to prioritize Canada's economic relationship with the United States over closer engagement with China, as tensions rise with the Trump administration.

Poilievre will spend the early part of the week in London, where he is scheduled to meet with British members of Parliament and representatives from the business community on Monday and Tuesday. His visit there will culminate in the delivery of the Margaret Thatcher Lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies on Tuesday evening. From London, Poilievre travels to Berlin on Wednesday to address the transatlantic relationship at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, an organization linked to Germany's governing Christian Democratic Union. He will then proceed to northern Germany to tour the port of Hamburg and a liquefied natural gas facility at the JadeWeser Port on the North Sea coast....
