  "account": "Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Parliament on Thursday amid tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump over Ottawa's efforts to strengthen ties with Europe, including a proposal for Canada to become the European Union's first associate member. Trump has threatened retaliatory tariffs if Canada joins the EU, describing the move as a \"hostile act.\" Canadian and European leaders have welcomed the proposal, with Carney receiving a standing ovation. The EU's Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for Canada to join the \"Alliance for the Future,\" a more closely integrated relationship beyond the existing free trade agreement. Carney has urged middle powers to reduce their dependence on dominant countries and build resilience.",
