The two-day 21st Canada–EU summit ended Oct. 30 in Montreal with both sides announcing a new 'Future Alliance' to deepen their partnership. Prime Minister Carney said Canada is seeking to become the EU’s first 'co-member', framing the move as a response to rising geopolitical tensions and pressure from the United States. Carney warned societies are facing 'trade weaponization', said the alliance is not directed at any third party, and declined to say whether US President Trump would be invited.
