Ottawa, Rajab 2, 1438, Mar 30, 2017, SPA -- Canada will want to bolster trade with Britain after it secedes from the European Union, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assured on Wednesday. “The United Kingdom remains a friend and ally and economic partner and we will, of course, work with them as they go through the transition that they’re embarking upon,” Trudeau said. “We’ll continue to look for ways to create closer trade ties and opportunities for better jobs and economic growth that benefits both of our countries and we will continue to engage as friends and allies.” Britain is Canada’s fourth-biggest trading partner, but would be excluded from a Canada-EU trade pact once it leaves the EU in two years — a deadline prompted when British Prime Minister Theresa May earlier today triggered formal divorce proceedings. --SPA 07:07 LOCAL TIME 04:07 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w365438
