EU weighs closer Canada ties as China trade talks remain difficult

Canada is being discussed as a potentially more dependable European Union trade partner as Ottawa turns toward Europe amid tensions with the United States. Euronews and Foreign Policy framed the developing relationship around the scope of closer Canada-EU cooperation, while the Toronto Star reported that a leaked summit document offered details of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pivot toward Europe.
The shift has public backing in Canada, according to polling reported by Business in Vancouver columnist Mario Canseco: 82% of Canadians surveyed viewed U.S. tariffs as a threat.
Separately, EU trade talks with China have not produced an agreement. EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič told POLITICO during a G20 trade ministers’ meeting in Milwaukee that the two sides were “definitely not there yet” after months of discussions he described as “constructive, but tough.” He said EU leaders had high expectations and were becoming politically impatient for progress.
Reuters also reported that a European Commission official had raised concern about an increase in EU imports driven by China.
