Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered an address to the European Parliament on Thursday, September 17, navigating a complex diplomatic landscape following recent comments from the United States.
The speech took place against a backdrop of rising friction between Washington and Ottawa. Earlier, US President Donald Trump indicated that permitting Canada to pursue associate membership with the European Union could be interpreted as a “hostile act,” signaling a sharp divergence in transatlantic policy approaches.
Carney’s appearance before the Strasbourg lawmakers highlighted the efforts by North American and European officials to maintain and strengthen bilateral ties despite the unpredictable political climate in the United States.
