Canada is in advanced discussions with the European Union to join a project aimed at expanding military collaboration, allowing Canadian manufacturers to participate in building European military equipment, such as fighter jets. This move is significant as it comes amid a growing rift in U.S.-Canada relations under President Trump. By partnering with the EU, Canada not only diversifies its defense partnerships but also seeks to strengthen its military manufacturing sector while contributing to the EU's efforts to reduce reliance on U.S. military capabilities.
The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation, insulators from Trump's unpredictable moves.
Detailed talks are underway to incorporate Canada into the European Union's new defense initiative, boosting the E.U.'s defense industry and eventually offering a credible alternative to the United States.
