Canada seeks JEF membership amid US trade war, deepening Europe ties

Canada is pursuing membership in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a Europe-led military partnership, as part of a strategic pivot toward Europe amid a bitter trade war with the US. The move signals a shift in Canada's traditional reliance on US security and economic ties, though the JEF's scope and Canada's role remain to be defined. This development matters as it reflects broader transatlantic realignment and potential erosion of US-Canada defense integration.
