REPLAY: Canadian PM Mark Carney addresses EU Parliament

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed the European Parliament. This comes after a proposal by Ursula von der Leyen to make Canada the EU's first "associate member", according to Politico EU. The proposal has raised questions about the new status and its implications.

The idea was met with a warning from US President Donald Trump, who threatened "serious tariffs" on Europe if it followed through. Canada is looking to strengthen its ties beyond its North American neighbor, while Europe seeks to enhance its security and independence.

Mark Carney's address took place on Thursday, September 17. France 24 reported that it was a replay of his address, with no further details provided.
