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.

加拿大總理卡尼在歐盟—加拿大峰會上提出讓加拿大成為歐盟首個“准成員”，並啓動“未來聯盟”合作，以降低對美依賴。但該提法未寫入峰會最終聲明，部分歐盟成員國態度保留，美加貿易談判仍無明確結果。
