Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney says a US-Iran deal to end the Middle East war could be a “game changer” in the region and beyond.
There is “a likelihood that this memorandum of understanding agreement could be a game changer,” Carney tells reporters on the third day of a G7 leaders’ meeting in the French town of Evian.
The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the United States also held a “very detailed discussion about Lebanon,” he says.
