Canada Seeks Closer EU Alliance Amid Trump Trade Dispute. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his country is seeking a "unique alliance" with the European Union as relations with the United States deteriorate. Canada and the EU have been moving closer amid an escalating trade dispute with US President Donald Trump, whose administration has imposed tariffs on both. Trade negotiations between Washington and Ottawa broke down last month, with Canada responding to US tariffs by imposing counter-tariffs. Tensions have also been fuelled by President Trump's repeated suggestions that Canada should become America's 51st state. Finland’s President Alexander Stubb recently joked that it would be better for Canada to become the EU's 28th member instead. Canada already has close ties with European countries, and Carney is increasingly looking towards Europe as his government seeks new economic and strategic partnerships beyond the United States.
