Canada pivots to EU amid US trade war, seeks deeper association

Canada, led by PM Mark Carney, is actively pursuing an 'associate member' status with the EU to deepen economic integration and reduce reliance on the US, following deteriorating trade relations. This initiative, which includes liberalizing movement of goods, services, and workers in strategic sectors, represents a significant geopolitical realignment for Canada. The feasibility and precise scope of such an arrangement remain uncertain, though the intent to pivot is clear.
