- Primary Driver: Canada’s trade outlook pivots as Carney welcomes EU ties while Trump ridicules the plan and threatens tariffs.

Al Jazeera highlighted Carney’s statement that Canada will decide its own alliances, and Time Magazine quoted him on the unreliability of “fair‑weather” ties with the EU. Trump’s threat of tariffs raises questions about how Canada will negotiate its trade future if the EU association proceeds.
The next steps hinge on negotiations between Ottawa, Brussels and Washington, with potential tariff measures shaping the outcome.
