Tensions between Canada and the US continue to rise amid an escalating trade war. Canada is seeking a unique alliance with the European Union, according to its prime minister. This move is part of Canada's efforts to reduce its economic dependence on the US.

The idea of Canada joining or strengthening ties with the 27-member bloc has gained traction over the past two years. A report provides more details on Canada's push to reinforce its links with the EU, following tariffs imposed by the US.

Further information on Canada's efforts to form a closer relationship with the EU is available, including the role of a special envoy sent to Europe to explore possibilities.
