Live updates: Missouri redistricting returns to court; Trump threatens EU over new Canada ties

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for a new alliance between Canada and the European Union, rejecting US President Donald Trump's threats of tariffs. Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Carney emphasized that Canada and Europe are stronger together, and that Canada will not let any government dictate whom it can partner with.

The Canadian leader stressed that the EU-Canada partnership is intended to be positive and not aimed at any specific country, including the US.
