Mark Carney Instantly Reacts as Ursula von der Leyen Makes Historic Offer to Canada
Mark Carney reacts as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen makes a historic offer to Canada: opening the door for Canada to become the European Union’s first “associate member.”
Speaking during her State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, von der Leyen called for a deeper Canada-EU partnership covering trade, defence, technology, critical minerals, energy, AI and the Arctic. Carney, who attended the address, has been pushing for a stronger “unique alliance” between Canada and Europe as Ottawa seeks to diversify its international partnerships.
The proposal would create a new form of cooperation that is not full EU membership, with the details of the proposed status still to be worked out.
