Geopolitics: Carney seeking proximity to Europe as a counterpole to Trump
In the trade war with the US, the Canadian Prime Minister is relying on the EU. Canada is to move closer to the single market. This week in Strasbourg, the Prime Minister wants to announce the next major step.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to make Europe the starting point for a new alliance of liberal middle powers. He aims to deepen economic, political, and military ties with the EU, with announcements expected this week. Carney will participate in Ursula von der Leyen's annual State of the European Union address in Strasbourg and speak before the European Parliament.
The goal is to establish a stronger security and economic partnership, including free movement, raw materials, digital trade, and defense, with potential participation in EU programs like Erasmus.
