Canada and EU should ally to protect democracies, Carney says, after 'associate member' proposal angers Trump
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported35m ago
On Thursday in Strasbourg, France, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney embraced a proposal for Canada to become the European Union’s first associate member. Speaking on the matter, Carney stated that Canada and Europe should form an alliance to protect their markets, democracies, and the rule of law in a global landscape dominated by the United States and China.
The push for closer trans-Atlantic ties follows an EU proposal to grant Canada associate membership status. Carney noted that deepening these continental connections would ensure that no single country could control Canadian markets or undermine its systems, coming in the wake of friction caused by the proposal, which has reportedly angered U.S. President Donald Trump.
