Carney to address EU Parliament after Trump calls Canada associate membership a possible hostile act
Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported31m ago
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Thursday. The speech follows a proposal made Wednesday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who stated that she wants Canada to become the European Union's first "associate member."
The development has drawn sharp criticism from the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump publicly reacted to the proposal, dismissing the associate membership plan as "laughable" while further suggesting that allowing Canada to take such a step could constitute a "hostile act" against the U.S.
