STRASBOURG, France (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will address the European Parliament on Thursday after President Donald Trump suggested allowing Canada to become an associate EU member could be a “hostile act” and threatened additional tariffs on Europe. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the bloc’s first associate member as Trump’s tariffs, demands for economic concessions and repeated talk of making Canada the 51st state drive Ottawa closer to Europe. Carney has urged middle powers to reduce their dependence on dominant powers, warning at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January that economic integration can become a source of coercion. Canada and the EU are also deepening ties on defense, energy and critical minerals.
