Canada working closely with EU on foreign aid as U . S . pulls back , Sarai says

Canada is strengthening its foreign aid collaboration with the European Union as the United States shifts toward a more transactional approach to international development. Randeep Sarai, the secretary of state for international development, indicated that this partnership is intended to address significant funding and support gaps created by the American withdrawal from traditional aid commitments.

This realignment highlights a strategic pivot in Canadian foreign policy as the nation seeks to maintain global development stability alongside European allies. By deepening these ties, Canada aims to mitigate the impact of the U.S. pullback and ensure continued support for international initiatives.
