Fact Check: "During the Canada-EU summit, Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa."
What We Know
The claim states that Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa during the Canada-EU summit. According to a recent article, Carney is indeed scheduled to visit Brussels on June 23 for the Canada-EU summit, where he will meet with von der Leyen (Yahoo Finance). However, there is no mention of a meeting with António Costa in the available sources.
Analysis
The primary source supporting the claim is a news article from Yahoo Finance, which confirms Carney's attendance at the Canada-EU summit and his meeting with von der Leyen (Yahoo Finance). This source appears to be reliable as it provides timely information regarding political events.
However, the absence of any reference to a meeting with António Costa raises questions about the completeness of the claim. The other sources, including the CIA World Factbook and Wikipedia, do not provide specific details about upcoming meetings or events involving Carney, von der Leyen, or Costa (World Factbook, Wikipedia). Furthermore, while the G7 source mentions Carney's challenges as a leader, it does not provide specific information about the Canada-EU summit or the meetings planned there (BBC).
Given that the claim includes two specific meetings but only confirms one, it indicates that further verification is needed regarding the meeting with António Costa.
Conclusion
Needs Research. While the claim about Carney meeting with von der Leyen is substantiated by a credible source, the assertion regarding a meeting with António Costa lacks confirmation. Therefore, more information is required to validate the complete accuracy of the claim.
