Carney pushes Canada-EU ties beyond trade

France 24 [en] · global

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used his address to the European Parliament to signal that Ottawa wants to deepen its partnership with the EU beyond trade, expanding cooperation on energy, AI, space and payment sovereignty, while also seeking to join the Erasmus programme. FRANCE 24's Dave Keating explains how the push reflects Canada's broader strategy to build stronger alliances beyond the United States without seeking to join the EU's single market, even as questions remain over how those ambitions can be turned into concrete action.
