Mark Carney to Join Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg to Announce Deeper EU-Canada Trade and Security Ties

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will join European Union President Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg next week to announce a plan to deepen trade and security ties between Canada and the European Union. This move follows a period of escalating trade tensions with the United States, where the administration announced a ban on Canadian exports of dairy, alcohol, and motorbikes. To reduce dependency on the U.S., the administration announced a plan to strengthen ties in areas such as technology, research, innovation, and critical raw materials. The EU and Canada are also exploring closer cooperation in security and defense, particularly in the Arctic region. This includes potential participation in EU defense projects and the development of Arctic-capable equipment. Mark Carney will address the European Parliament next week as part of a public campaign to pivot away from the U.S. and form a club of like-minded, pro-free trade democracies. The EU and Canada are also considering alignment on security and defense in the Arctic region and military-industrial partnerships.
