Carney's Address to European Parliament Signals Shift in Canada's Alliances

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addressed the European Parliament as Canada and the European Union deepen their diplomatic and economic ties, France 24 reported.

According to the broadcaster, the speech comes against a backdrop of strained relations between Ottawa and Washington, prompting Canada to look toward Europe for closer cooperation.

France 24's Doug Herbert said the address illustrates a broader shift in international alliances, noting that such a message would, until recently, have more likely been delivered in Washington than in Brussels.

The report did not provide further details on the specific content of Carney's remarks or on any agreements reached between Canada and the EU during the visit.

France 24 did not specify the exact date of the speech within the video segment, and no additional context was provided regarding the nature of the strain in U.S.-Canada relations referenced in the report.
