加拿大财政部长香槟在BBC采访中表示，英国应与加拿大和欧洲建立经济合作关系1。香槟强调，"我们需要以不同的方式看待伙伴关系，加拿大和英国拥有相同的价值观。为什么不团队合作呢？"1这一呼吁出现在欧盟主席冯德莱恩提议为加拿大提供"关联欧盟成员资格"的背景下，这是欧盟前所未有的举措1。
加拿大总理卡尼已访问欧盟斯特拉斯堡进行演讲，目的是"建立未来的联盟"1。卡尼上周表示，加拿大有意加入欧盟大学、科学研究、人工智能和防御资金计划1。这些举措与加拿大面临的贸易困难密切相关。加拿大与美国的贸易谈判在8月最后时刻破裂，随后双方相互征收关税1。香槟强调，加拿大的回应是"有分寸、有针对性、战略性的……按美元换美元、按关税换关税"1，表示加拿大已通过征收关税为本国产业、工人和国家"挺身而出"1。
美国方面对此计划表示警惕。特朗普威胁如果欧盟-加拿大关联成员计划被证明对美国"敌对"，将对欧盟征收额外关税1。
Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has called on the United Kingdom to "team up" with Canada and Europe in a newly proposed economic alliance.1 Speaking to the BBC, Freeland stated: "We need to think about partnerships differently, Canada and the UK share the same values. Why not team up?"1
The proposal comes as EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has offered Canada an unprecedented "associated EU membership" status.1 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been actively promoting these efforts, delivering a speech in Strasbourg to build what he described as "alliances for the future".1 Trudeau has indicated Canada's interest in joining European Union programs across universities, scientific research, artificial intelligence, and defense funding.1
These diplomatic moves follow escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States. Trade negotiations between the two countries collapsed in late August, prompting both sides to impose retaliatory tariffs.1 Freeland emphasized that Canada's response has been "measured, targeted, and strategic—dollar for dollar and tariff for tariff".1 Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned he would impose additional tariffs on the European Union if the proposed EU-Canada associated membership arrangement proves "hostile" to American interests.1
