Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney urged the European Union in Strasbourg to deepen economic and political partnership. In his address to the European Parliament, he supported the proposal to create a special relationship between Canada and the Union, without pushing for his country's membership in the EU. n-tv ↗
According to several reports, Carney presented cooperation in several areas including trade and politics. At a time of tense relations with the administration of US President Donald Trump, Canada is seeking to strengthen ties with Europe. Trump's policy toward his northern neighbor also includes threats of trade tariffs and trade restrictions. Standard.sk ↗
The Canadian prime minister welcomed the possibility for Canada to gain associate member status of the Union. According to the proposals presented, such a model would enable closer cooperation without full membership. At the same time, the European Union offered Canada partnership in a broader economic and political alliance. Politico Europe ↗
Carney's speech in the European Parliament was met with a favorable reception. One report characterized him as a leader who stands markedly against Trump's policy. However, according to the available information, the Canadian prime minister spoke mainly about practical cooperation and shared interests, not about Canada's immediate accession to the Union.
Further negotiations are expected to show what shape a possible associate partnership could take and in which areas Canada and the EU could deepen mutual ties.
