Canada vrea o „alianță unică” cu UE, ce vizează cooperarea de la comerț și investiții până la apărare, inteligență artificială, energie, infrastructură digitală și minerale critice

Canada aims to strengthen its relationship with the European Union amid strained ties with the United States due to trade disputes. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized the pursuit of a unique alliance rather than EU membership, focusing on shared values and complementary strengths. Discussions will cover trade, defense, and technology cooperation. Carney's upcoming European tour includes attending a State of the Union address and addressing the European Parliament. The backdrop of this pivot is the deterioration of trade relations with the U.S., which has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods. Canada is exploring deeper market integration with the EU, particularly in critical minerals and digital infrastructure.
