OTTAWA – Five U.S. senators will be in Ottawa Friday for meetings with the Liberal government, including Prime Minister Mark Carney.

The delegation includes Democrats Jeanne Shaheen, Tim Kaine, Amy Klobuchar and Peter Welch, and Republican Kevin Cramer.

They’re expected to meet with the ministers of foreign affairs, national defence and industry, as well as the Business Council of Canada.

A release from the U.S. Senate foreign relations committee says the group plans to stress “deep and bipartisan support” for a strong partnership between Canada and the U.S.

It says Sen. Shaheen, who is leading the delegation, will talk about the trading relationship between the two countries, including the integrated supply chains in the automotive and defence industries.

Shaheen also plans to highlight the “deep” security cooperation between the two countries, the release says.
