  "account": "What could more cooperation between Canada and the EU entail? Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed his desire for \"deeper\" ties with European nations, even though joining the EU is unlikely. The two sides have been discussing the idea of deepening ties for over a year, driven by shared allies pursuing protectionist trade policies and a retreat from diplomatic partnerships. In June 2025, Canada and the EU outlined a framework for greater cooperation, focusing on increased trade and economic security, supply chain cooperation, regulatory alignment, stronger defense partnerships, collaboration on the digital transition and educational exchanges, and shared action on climate change and geopolitical crises.\n\nChristian Leuprecht, a professor at the Royal Military College in Montreal, believes the EU is the \"most obvious partner\" for Canada to diversify its trading relationships and suggested sourcing more military purchases from European partners. In return, Europe could benefit from Canada's supply of liquified natural gas, oil, and critical minerals. Geneviève Tuts, the EU's ambassador to Canada, described the partnership as \"unique\" and \"different from what we have with countries like Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom,\" aiming for greater integration on substance and working methods.\n\nHowever, Aurel Braun, a professor of international relations at the University of Toronto, is doubtful that the relationship can fundamentally change Canada's economic realities. The geography and history of the two nations mean the U.S. will remain a key trading and political partner, even with a president like Trump. While some \"carve-outs\" may allow for more trade, Braun argues that they won't significantly alter the structure of trade.",
