- Mark Carney is pushing the idea of making Canada an "associate member" of the EU, per a WSJ exclusive report also cited by Reuters.
- Canada's EU associate membership bid comes amid an escalation of the trade war with the US, according to WSJ reporting referenced by تسنیم.
Why it matters: Associate membership would be an unprecedented arrangement for both parties — Canada would gain formal institutional ties with the EU as a hedge against US trade pressure, but no non-European country has held such a status before, making the path legally and politically untested.
