July 7 : Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney mixed business with banter at the NATO summit in Turkey as he jokingly attempted to recruit Norway’s star striker Erling Haaland for his country’s next World Cup squad.
Carney met Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the sidelines of the summit in Turkey’s capital Ankara on Tuesday, a day after agreeing to a submarine deal with a German-Norwegian partnership.
Highlighting the importance of Canada’s relationship with Norway, Carney could not resist making an audacious pitch for the Norwegian forward who has scored seven goals at the World Cup.
“Interoperability also means sharing crews. And in the next World Cup, if you could share Erling Haaland with us, that would be greatly, greatly appreciated,” he joked, drawing laughs from Stoere.
