Canada spune „da” ofertei UE. Carney salută ideea de „membru asociat” și propune o alianță pe apărare, AI și energie

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised Ursula von der Leyen's proposal for Canada to become the first "associated member" of the EU, emphasizing deeper integration in various sectors. He highlighted the geopolitical challenges and the need for collective resilience rather than self-sufficiency. Carney outlined areas for cooperation, including defense, AI, energy, and critical minerals, and proposed a frictionless digital trade framework. He also advocated for easier mobility for young Canadians and Europeans, aiming for participation in programs like Erasmus+. The new "Alliance for the Future" is intended to strengthen ties without creating a rival geopolitical bloc.
