Carney expects to conclude EU talks in June on making Canada the bloc's first associate member
Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday that he expects to conclude negotiations with the European Union in June on an unprecedented partnership that would make Canada the bloc's first "associate member", a status that would stop short of full EU membership. Euronews reported that Carney has set June 2027 as the deadline for the category, which has no precedent and which Germany has fiercely opposed. The South China Morning Post reported that the designation was left out of a joint declaration launching a new economic and security alliance, and that Carney would attend a meeting of European leaders in June to conclude the talks. POLITICO reported that Carney backs "the deepest possible partnership" with the bloc, but that questions over its cost and differences on trade remain.
