Carney and Macron to meet Sept. 20, affirm national sovereignty

Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet French President Emmanuel Macron in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon on Sept. 20. The Elysee Palace, France's presidential office, says the talks will reaffirm the "sovereignty of nations" — each country's right to govern itself. The meeting follows a Sept. 7 social-media post by U.S. President Donald Trump showing North America covered by the American flag.
