Carney Seeks EU Alliance to Shield Canada from Trump Pressure
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promotes closer ties with the European Union, proposing associate membership and an 'Alliance for the Future' to diversify Canada’s economy away from the United States amid Donald Trump’s tariff threats; he envisions deep cooperation across trade, defense, minerals, AI, energy, space, and financial services, while saying Canada does not seek full EU membership. The EU signals openness to stronger ties and a Montreal summit is planned for Oct. 29-30 to discuss details.
