Mark Carney seeks new EU partnership as US relations deteriorate

Canada is exploring a new partnership with the European Union as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to reduce the country's economic dependence on the United States. Amid a trade war with the US, which has resulted in significant tariffs, Carney is discussing the possibility of Canada becoming an "associate member" of the EU. This unprecedented status aims to enhance cooperation in various sectors, including energy and technology, while addressing the challenges posed by deteriorating relations with Washington.
