Carney Sets Target for E.U. 'Associate' Membership Amid U.S.-Canada Trade Standoff

Carney said the E.U. and Canada are working toward “the deepest possible partnership, short of accession." The move comes as the Canadian Prime Minister pursues international alliances to reduce Canada's reliance on the U.S.

加拿大总理卡尼在欧盟—加拿大峰会上提出让加拿大成为欧盟首个“准成员”，并启动“未来联盟”合作，以降低对美依赖。但该提法未写入峰会最终声明，部分欧盟成员国态度保留，美加贸易谈判仍无明确结果。
