Canada and EU Discuss Closer Partnership and 'Alliance for the Future' at Summit
At a two-day summit in Montreal, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and EU leaders, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, discussed forming an 'Alliance for the Future' to strengthen ties beyond the US. The alliance aims to focus on critical minerals, resilient supply chains, defence, and scientific cooperation, with Canada potentially becoming the EU's first associate member. While some European governments have reservations, the partnership seeks to reduce dependence on the US amid concerns over US trade policies and political pressures.
