Carney to Address European Parliament, Attend State of the Union Address
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend the State of the EU speech in Strasbourg on September 16, following an invitation from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen issued before the U.S. trade conflict intensified.
- Trade talks between Ottawa and Washington collapsed last week amid sovereignty disputes, prompting Canada to accelerate efforts to diversify trade away from the U.S. market, which accounts for 95% of Canadian business.
- Canada already participates in the €150 billion SAFE defence instrument and plans to offer the EU improved access to critical raw materials, including lithium, nickel, and graphite, to strengthen integration.
- "This fall we will begin intense discussions with the European Union, the world's second-largest economy, to build a much stronger and deeper economic and security partnership," Carney said on Monday.
- While Bruegel senior fellow Guntram Wolff notes strategic alignment "could go far," full membership remains unlikely because Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union restricts accession to any "European State.
