@alarabiya_eng: 🔴 Canada could become the first country to enter such an arrangement with the EU 🔴 The country would not become a full EU member; Prime Minister Mark Carney says Ottawa is not seeking full membership 🔴 “Associate member” is not currently a formal EU legal status, so its rights and obligations would have to be defined 🔴 This arrangement could create a new level of ties between traditional partnership and full EU membership 🔴 It could deepen Canada-EU cooperation in trade, defense, energy, AI, vital minerals and Arctic security 🔴 This proposal comes as Canada seeks to reduce its economic reliance on the US and diversify its partnerships
