« Personne ne dictera au Canada avec qui il peut signer des accords » : Mark Carney, favorable au rapprochement avec l’UE, répond à Donald Trump
LE FIGARO : Sur fond de désamour avec les États-Unis, la présidente de la Commission européenne a proposé mercredi que le Canada puisse devenir le premier pays « membre associé » de l’UE, en s’adressant à Mark Carney.
Le premier ministre canadien Mark Carney a salué jeudi l’idée que son pays devienne le premier membre associé de l’Union européenne, jugeant que le Canada et l’UE étaient « plus forts ensemble ». « Le Canada accueille favorablement cette ambition, et je peux vous dire que les sondages montrent qu’une écrasante majorité de Canadiens soutient des liens beaucoup plus étroits avec l’Europe », a-t-il déclaré devant le Parlement européen à Strasbourg, où il a été longuement applaudi. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | jeudi 17 September 2026

Carney's Canada Draws Closer to European Union • FRANCE 24 English
Sep 16, 2026 | With a US president who talks of making Canada the 51st state…Its leader in Europe where it’s not quite the EU's 28th state on offer but something the president of the European Commission is calling ‘associate membership’. We’ll ask what that means, how it differs from the close status afforded to the likes of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK which Carney’s also visiting ahead of his own Strasbourg speech Thursday before the European Parliament.
What are Canada’s options? What are Europe’s options as both the US and Russia covet the Arctic? How closer can they really get when already ten EU nations - including France and Italy - have yet to ratify the CETA free trade agreement that’s provisionally in effect with Ottawa?
The French - who have their own challenges with the far-right favourite to win next May’s presidential elections - will conclude this Canadian cycle when Emmanuel Macron hosts Carney in the tiny North Atlantic overseas territory of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Ahead of UN week in New York, a simple question: do Europeans take on the United States head on like Canada or massage relations with the world's biggest superpower

« Porter notre relation au plus haut niveau possible » : l’Union européenne propose au Canada un statut de « membre associé »
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - Le pays pourrait également faire partie d’un futur « conseil de sécurité européen », avec le Royaume-Uni, la Norvège et l’Ukraine, selon des annonces d’Ursula von der Leyen.
Quand Donald Trump a parlé de faire du Canada le 51e État des États-Unis, l’idée a germé que le pays pourrait devenir, plutôt, le 28e membre de l’Union européenne. Contre toute attente, elle a fait son chemin. « Nous partageons les mêmes valeurs, nous avons les mêmes priorités et nos atouts se complètent parfaitement », argumentait ce week-end son premier ministre, Mark Carney, avant une visite en Europe. Cette possibilité est même soutenue par 58 % des Canadiens, selon un sondage réalisé en mars. A priori saugrenue, la piste a été sérieusement étudiée par des juristes bruxellois, avant de conclure qu’en raison de critères géographiques immuables, le Canada ne saurait faire partie de l’Union européenne. » | Par Florentin Collomp, envoyé spécial à Strasbourg | mercredi 16 septembre 2026

‘Trump Pushes Canada Out of NATO?’: Mark Carney Drops Stunning Europe Bomb Amid Tariff War

Canada Stands Up to America as Trump Imposes 50% Tariffs on Its Closest Ally
Aug 27, 2026 | Donald Trump’s ludicrous tariff policy has become a defining feature of his second term, imposing costs on American businesses and consumers while raising serious questions about the limits of presidential power.
His escalating trade dispute with Canada, which has chosen to resist rather than submit to American pressure, highlights both the economic and constitutional consequences of his approach.
With courts challenging the legality of his tariffs, Congress and the judiciary now face a crucial test of whether they will enforce constitutional limits and prevent the president from using trade policy to punish American workers and consumers.

Trump’s Trade War with Canada Could Get ‘Very Nasty’ | Sarah Baxter
Aug 25, 2026 | “It could get very nasty indeed, economically, for both sides.”
Trump’s latest attack on Canada is “particularly farcical”, with threats to increase tariffs on Canadian car imports. However, a trade war could damage both countries, says Sarah Baxter, director of the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting.

Mark Carney Says Canada Can’t Accept US Trade Deal That Would Weaken French Language
THE GUARDIAN: Prime minister praised for rejecting US trade proposal as Trump shows little interest in retreating from dispute

Mark Carney said on Monday that while American negotiators saw the French language in Canada as an “irritant … in Quebec, these are rights,” days after receiving widespread praise from political leaders for rejecting a US trade proposal that many perceived as weakening the country’s Francophone culture.
The prime minister’s remarks came hours after the US president, Donald Trump, showed little interest in retreating from the spat, posting on social media that Canada had been “ripping off the United States of America for years” and threatening a swath of new, economically devastating tariffs on cars and trucks.
Carney instructed his negotiators to walk away from trade talks last week. Tariffs on an array of Canadian products took effect over the weekend, affecting around 5% of Canada’s exports to the US, and Canada said it will retaliate in early September.
On Monday, Carney toured a shipyard with Quebec’s premier, telling attendees Canada “could not accept” a proposed trade deal that would have weakened French language protections after trade talks collapsed between the two countries last week, adding that his government “will not give what they have asked”.
The prime minister’s decision to abandon trade talks with the US spurred declarations from political leaders and pundits in Canada that the country is now fully locked into an economic war with its longtime ally. » | Leyland Cecco in Toronto | Monday, August 24, 2026

BERLINER ZEITUNG: Nach dem Scheitern der Handelsgespräche zwischen den USA und Kanada kündigt Ottawa Vergeltungszölle an. Die neuen Maßnahmen sollen Anfang September in Kraft treten.

Im Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und Kanada hat US-Präsident Donald Trump am Sonntag öffentlich auf die angekündigten kanadischen Gegenzölle reagiert und dabei seine Rhetorik vom möglichen 51. US-Bundesstaat erneuert.
„Kanada will die Vorteile eines Staates haben, ohne einer zu sein“, schrieb Trump auf seiner Plattform Truth Social. Zudem warf er dem Nachbarland vor, US-Landwirten jahrelang hohe Zölle auferlegt zu haben. Damit sei nun Schluss.
Trumps Wortmeldung folgt auf das Scheitern tagelanger Verhandlungen und das Inkrafttreten neuer US-Zölle auf kanadische Waren am Samstag. Die Aufschläge in Höhe von 50 Prozent betreffen laut Bericht der Nachrichtenagentur The Canadian Press Ausfuhren im Wert von rund 28 Milliarden kanadischen Dollar, darunter erstmals auch Waren, die unter das nordamerikanische Freihandelsabkommen USMCA fallen – etwa Hockeyschläger, Honig, ätherische Öle und Milchprodukte. » | Peter Steiniger | Sonntag, 23.

Canada-U.S. Trade War Escalates as Talks Collapse
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Intense negotiations to stave off new levies by the Trump administration ended in an impasse as Mark Carney suspended talks. U.S. tariffs on Canada, and retaliatory tariffs on the U.S., will come into effect.

Crucial trade talks between the United States and Canada to stave off punishing new tariffs by the Trump administration on Canadian goods collapsed late Friday, with Canada saying it would retaliate “dollar for dollar.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada said he had decided to suspend the talks because the American side had introduced last-minute terms that were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
He added that the talks, which had been going on for weeks and had intensified in the past few days, had marked important progress but had ultimately “not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians.”
United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told reporters that Canada had walked away from the negotiating table, minutes before a deadline ushering in new 50 percent tariffs by the Trump administration on a broad range of Canadian goods. » | Matina Stevis-Gridneff, Ian Austen and Ana Swanson | Matina Stevis-Gridneff reported from Toronto and Ian Austen from Ottawa.

Carney Pulls Canada Closer to Europe as Both Struggle With Trump
THE NEW YORK TIMES: At a summit of European leaders, the Canadian prime minister was a special guest offering deals and friendship to jittery allies.

Canada and the European Union are turning commiseration and anxiety over their turbulent relationships with the United States under President Trump into a deepening bond.
On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada joined a summit of European leaders in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, putting his country at the heart of some of Europe’s biggest priorities. He was the first non-European head of government to be invited to the gathering, known as the European Political Community summit.
Mr. Carney’s relentless pursuit of new, expanded alliances to lessen Canada’s dependence on the United States coming as Mr. Trump threatens to unravel decades of economic integration, has effectively led Canada to be welcomed as something of an honorary European Union member.
“Integration is being used as a weapon by some, and the rules are not constraining the hegemons,” Mr. Carney said on Monday at the Yerevan summit — hinting at, but not mentioning, the United States — in comments that echoed his landmark speech in Davos, Switzerland, in January. » | Matina Stevis-Gridneff | Matina Stevis-Gridneff reported from Yerevan, Armenia, while traveling with Prime Minister Mark Carney. | Monday, May 4, 2026
