  "account": "Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that his country had realized it was overdependent on the United States during negotiations with European Union leaders in Montreal. Speaking to DW, Carney emphasized the need for Canada to build domestic strength and deepen partnerships with other nations. Carney clarified that what the EU is referring to as \"associate membership\" would grant Canada the closest partnership possible without full EU membership. While he acknowledged the strong ties between Canada and the US, Carney stressed the importance of diversifying and deepening Canada's relationships with other countries. He highlighted potential areas for expanded cooperation, such as space technologies, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals. Despite tensions with US President Donald Trump, Carney maintained that the Canadian-Canadian relationship would not be easily affected by changes in US leadership.",
  "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.\"",
