Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham watched an Everton soccer match together on Wednesday, using their shared support for the club as a diplomatic tool. The two leaders were seen celebrating Everton's 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, wearing the team's blue and white scarves. The gesture comes as Canada seeks to strengthen ties with Europe amid trade tensions with the United States. Everton, a mid-table Premier League team without a major trophy in 31 years, provided a neutral and relatable backdrop for the diplomatic engagement.
