  "account": "Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney informed European Union leaders on Friday that Canada has become overly reliant on the United States, marking a shift in the country's international approach. During talks in Montreal with EU leaders, Carney emphasized the need for Canada to build its strength domestically and strengthen partnerships with other nations. Despite the deep-rooted ties between Canada and the U.S., Carney stressed that the country is seeking to diversify its relationships and deepen connections with Europe. He highlighted areas such as space technologies, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals as potential avenues for expanded cooperation. Carney also acknowledged the challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump, but maintained that Canada's relationships with both the U.S. and EU are too significant to be disrupted by government changes.",
  "summary": "Prime Minister Mark Carney tells DW that Canada is seeking closer EU ties to \"diversify and deepen\" partnerships beyond the Americas. Despite German pushback, he said he favors the all-new term \"associate membership.\"",
