Story summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada is exploring closer ties with the European Union (EU), aiming for a "unique alliance" rather than full membership. The push comes amid tensions with the United States, including tariffs on billions of dollars in cross-border trade. Reports suggest Canada and the EU are discussing ways to let Canadian goods, services, and workers move freely within strategic supply chains such as energy, AI, defense, and critical minerals. Carney is set to address the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week to pitch Canada's partnership proposal. While some officials initially hinted at an "associate member" status for Canada, Carney has clarified that discussions will focus on forming a unique alliance rather than seeking full EU membership or associate status.
