Canada, EU look to forge an "Alliance for the Future" amid Trump threats
Canada's leader draws regular scorn from President Trump, but European leaders gave him a standing ovation as they aim to push their ties to "the highest level."
Strasbourg, France - Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney received a standing ovation from European leaders during a recent visit to the European Parliament. Despite strained relations with the United States under President Trump, the Canadian leader expressed enthusiasm for forging a new alliance with the European Union. Carney emphasized that such cooperation would protect Canada's markets, sovereignty, and freedom, contrasting the EU's proposal of associate membership with the U.S.'s threats of tariffs and potential trade barriers.
The Canadian prime minister stressed the need to build a stronger, more resilient relationship with Europe, moving away from the old world order defined by U.S. economic and political dominance.
