Carney to address European Parliament today after ‘associate member’ proposal

Euronews reports from Strasbourg that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed the European Parliament today, a day after EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU's first associate member. US President Donald Trump has called this plan "laughable" and threatened with "very serious tariffs."

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola was exclusively interviewed, reacting to the plan and the State of the Union speech delivered the previous day. Other reactions from European Commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis, Maroš Šefčovič, Wopke Hoekstra, and Andrius Kubilius, as well as MEP David McAllister from the European People's Party, were also covered.

Jorge Liboreiro provided analysis on whether the speech will have an impact, the lack of new Ukraine support or Russia sanctions announcements, and what comes next for von der Leyen following her biggest speech of the year.
