Canadian PM Mark Carney discusses talks with the EU, overdependence on the US and how to deal with Donald Trump in a DW interview.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized the need for Canada to diversify its economic partnerships beyond the US, particularly with the EU. In discussions with EU leaders, he supported the concept of 'associate membership' to strengthen ties. Carney acknowledged the historical dependence on the US but highlighted opportunities for deeper cooperation with Europe in areas like trade, research, and technology. Despite tensions with US President Trump, he believes the strong US-Canada relationship will endure. Carney reassured that the EU talks aim to foster positive collaboration rather than antagonism towards the US.
