Carney Backs EU-Canada Associate Membership Amid Trump Tariff Threats

Mark Carney has expressed support for associate membership between the EU and Canada amid ongoing trade tensions between the US and its allies. The issue of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Canadian aluminum and steel imports has heightened concerns about global economic instability.

The former Bank of England governor emphasized that the proposed associate membership arrangement would provide a framework for cooperation between the two entities, allowing them to navigate these challenges together. He noted that this arrangement could serve as a model for other countries seeking to strengthen their ties with European institutions.
