EU opens door for Canada to become its first associate member, von der Leyen says
- On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed that Canada become the European Union's first "associate member" during her State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, France.
- This overture follows a historic breakdown in Canada-U.S. trade relations last month, as President Donald Trump's tariffs and rhetoric about making Canada the 51st state pushed Ottawa to seek closer European ties.
- Von der Leyen stated the EU and Canada will build on their existing CETA agreement by creating an "Alliance for the Future" aimed at establishing "a common prosperity and economic security space."
- Receiving a standing ovation from European lawmakers on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to address the European Parliament on Thursday regarding this "unique alliance."
- Responding to a "fracture in the international rules-based system," von der Leyen noted the partnership is "not against anyone else" to avoid antagonizing the United States.
