Canada ia în calcul o reorientare istorică spre Europa. Mark Carney propune statutul de „membru asociat” al UE

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is exploring the possibility of Canada becoming an associate member of the European Union, aiming for economic and political benefits without full membership. Discussions with European leaders have been ongoing for months, particularly in light of escalating trade tensions with the U.S. Carney's proposal has garnered some openness from the EU, which is typically rigid on membership issues. He seeks to deepen ties with Europe as a strategic move to counterbalance the negative impacts of trade disputes with the U.S., where Canada has imposed tariffs on American goods. This shift reflects a significant pivot towards Europe amid strained relations with its southern neighbor.
