美国总统特朗普对欧盟主席冯德莱恩提议加拿大成为欧盟首个准成员国的计划作出强硬回应。123特朗普称这一举动"可笑"且构成"敌对行为"，23并威胁如果欧盟执行此举，将对欧洲实施"严厉关税或停止在许多事情上与欧洲的贸易"。237特朗普表示，"如果是出于良好意图，那没问题；如果出于坏意图，我们会对欧洲征收非常高的关税。"7
冯德莱恩在欧洲议会年度演讲中宣布了这一新的准成员资格类别，37并表示欧盟与加拿大的合作将涵盖智能制造、技术联盟、防务工业基地整合、能源、关键矿物、电池、人工智能和网络安全等领域。2在回应特朗普的威胁时，冯德莱恩声明这"不是针对任何人的伙伴关系，而是为了共同力量"。7同时，加拿大还正式申请加入由英国领导的联合远征部队军事联盟，该联盟由十个北约成员国组成。2
这一系列发展反映了加拿大与美国关系的恶化。3特朗普曾表示希望加拿大成为美国第51个州，但其政策立场反而促使加拿大转向欧盟寻求合作。6加拿大与美国的贸易谈判上月破裂，特朗普随后对加拿大实施了进一步制裁，加拿大总理卡尼誓言将做出同样回应。3
President Donald Trump has threatened to impose severe tariffs and halt trade with Europe if the European Union proceeds with making Canada its first associate member.137 Trump characterized the EU's proposal as "laughable" and described it as a potentially "hostile act."257
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the unprecedented associate membership category for Canada during her address to the European Parliament.37 The partnership would strengthen cooperation across technology, defense, energy, critical minerals, batteries, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.2 Von der Leyen responded to Trump's warnings by stating that "this is not a partnership against anyone else, but for our common strength."7
Trump's threats mark a significant escalation in tensions with Europe and follow a breakdown in trade negotiations between the United States and Canada last month, after which Trump imposed additional sanctions on Canada.3 The development also reflects shifting geopolitical dynamics following Trump's earlier unsuccessful proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state.46 Canada has formally applied to join the Joint Expeditionary Force, a military alliance led by the United Kingdom and comprising ten NATO member states.2
