Von der Leyen told the EU’s State of the Union address that the bloc and Canada “see the world with the same eyes”, including on topics ranging from AI, to climate change and geopolitics.
“And we have stood together: on Ukraine, on defence, on raw materials and on supply chains. But above all… Europe and Canada believe in democracy.”
The US has fallen, we need to stick together.
Yeah the eu didn’t have enought negative sentiment toward her. Election can t comme soon enough. Fuck that oligarch extra gouvernemental bs i never vote for
Hilarious that this happens before anything formal could be established with the UK.
The Scandinavian countries, UK, and Australia also seem well positioned to join once they hash out what exactly this means above and beyond existing trade and defense deals.
Can NZ join? 😁 Although I dont know how much it would do for us, we arent reliant on the USA for trade or defence anyway
As an European, I’m confused what exactly associate partner is, because normally those countries are called European Economic Area countries (currently three - Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). It just means you get the benefits of EU free trade while not being a member of the EU. In practice, anything you buy and sell with EU should become cheaper and easier.
Presumably this is all about standardizing trade.
EU about to become Eurovision 2.0
Israel answer the call
