Mark Carney to address EU Parliament amid Canada-US trade tensions

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will attend Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union address in Brussels this Wednesday, signaling a strategic pivot toward Europe as Ottawa navigates a deepening trade conflict with the Trump administration over $20 billion in punitive tariffs on Canadian goods.

Mark Carney to address EU Parliament amid Canada-US trade tensions

The visit precedes an upcoming EU-Canada summit, highlighting Ottawa's search for alternative alliances while Washington maintains duties reaching 50 percent on Canadian exports. Carney is scheduled to deliver his own address to MEPs on Thursday, cementing a diplomatic alignment that contrasts with Canada’s recent frictions with the United States.

Beyond trade, von der Leyen’s speech marks the start of the autumn political semester, where she will outline executive priorities including security, climate, and migration. The Commission also intends to introduce legislation restricting social media access for minors on Tuesday, drawing inspiration from Australian precedents. This proposal faces immediate resistance from digital advocacy groups, setting the stage for a contentious debate when MEPs challenge the Commission on these regulatory plans following the address.
