EU offers Canada 'associate membership'; Trump threatens tariffs
–
Neutral summary
The European Commission has proposed making Canada the EU's first associate member, a move welcomed by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. Carney said “Europe and Canada are stronger together” and called for deeper cooperation on energy, security, artificial intelligence and trade. US President Donald Trump dismissed the plan as “laughable” and threatened heavy tariffs or a trade halt with Europe if he deems it a hostile act. The details of the new status remain unclear — associate membership is not currently defined in EU treaties and could take years to establish — while European Parliament President Roberta Metsola suggested Australia and New Zealand might follow Canada's example.
