Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will try to strengthen trade and security relations in Canada over the next five days with European allies who also face threats from US President Donald Trump because of their economy and sovereignty.
Trudeau is heading to Paris and Brussels from Saturday – a few days after Trump agreed to stop the customs tariffs in Canada until March 4.
Roland Paris, the former adviser to Rudo, says it is important for Canada and the European Union (European Union) sharing notes on how to deal with Trump during this time of extreme uncertainty and coordination if he unleashes the punishment of tariffs against them.
“No one knows what Donald Trump will do after that,” said Paris, who is also a professor of international affairs at the University of Ottawa.
“He continues to cast crazy ideas. It threatens the most amazing consequences. Everyone is at the edge of their seat wondering what he will do and whether it will be the next goal. In this type of environment of uncertainty, it is important for leaders to talk to each other.”
Trump threatens the economic war against Canada and puts his attention in the upcoming European Union.
The US President warned on Monday that he could expand the definitions of the European Union, and hit the 27 -countries bloc, with a 10 percent imposition on all goods. He pledges to control Greenland-a self-governmental region that is part of Denmark, a member of NATO-with all 32 NATO countries to increase their defensive spending significantly.
Lato planning without us
Trudeau is expected to try to try alliances with European leaders in an attempt to become less dependent on the United States, which also threatens economic coercion against Canada during the Trump era to make it 51.
The agenda of the Prime Minister in Europe includes speaking at the top artificial intelligence summit in Paris, co -hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
At the top, Trudeau may also have an opportunity to pressure the US Vice President JD Vance why the war of tariffs will harm both countries.
Trudeau will go to Brussels to meet with European Union leaders and have one on one with NATO Secretary -General Mark Retty during a critical period.
“The full idea of the United States that requires lands of NATO members is a violation of everything that NATO represents.”
“NATO is supposed to be a defensive alliance of countries that are supposed to comply with each other, and not threaten each other.”
He said that Trudeau’s talks with Root could include defensive spending, how NATO can plan to withdraw Trump from the United States from the coalition and how Canada and the European Union can support Ukraine in its battle against Russia if the United States stops contributing.
Pay the free trade agreement on the finish line
But the great focus expected during the talks in Europe is how Nada can protect itself from the trade war.
While the federal government is trying to persuade the Trump administration, it takes the security concerns very seriously to avoid definitions next month, it also focuses on protecting Canada in the event of Trump’s decline, including the diversification of trade.
The Minister of Natural Resources and Energy Jonathan Wilkenson said the journey is an opportunity to work closely with the European Union, who carefully monitors Trump’s aggression towards its northern neighbor.
“I think many see that if the president would do something like this in Canada, which was historically the closest ally of the United States, what might be in Europe?” Wilkenson said on Thursday.
Canada has a free trade agreement with the European Union-its second largest trading partner behind the United States-called the comprehensive economic and commercial agreement (CETA).
Trudeau signed the deal in 2016. It was supposed to create a huge new market for Canadian products in exchange for low prices on distinguished European goods, such as vehicles, wine and cheese. But many promised benefits of CETA have failed to achieve it.
CETA is still not classified as 10 European Union member states, including Belgium and France. It faces resistance due to concerns about unfair competition, as well as the demands of environmental standards and the strongest consumers.
Experts now say it is time for Rudo to encourage his European counterparts to push the free trade agreement via the finish line and get it completely.
“Both Canada and the European Union are looking for reliable partners and there are not many these days,” said Robin Zoyoti, director of the Center for Excellence in the European Union of Jean -Monnet University. “They need each other.”
A pivotal moment for Amnesty International
The AI Action Summit is attended by Trudeau is the first meeting of talks on artificial intelligence. Trudeau and Macron signed a global partnership on technology in 2020.
Artificial intelligence can also be a major theme for the Canada’s business schedule at the Group of Seven meeting hosts in Kananascis, Alta, in June.
Today 68:29How Deepseek raised assumptions about artificial intelligence and threatened the dominance of the giants of Wadi Silicon
Deepseek Deepseek has sent stocks, stock and technology industry this week when it unveiled the new AI model R1. It is an open source Chatbot said to compete Chatgpt from Openai and cost a lot for construction and training. Melissa Heckaler, an artificial intelligence correspondent at the Financial Times times, tells us what makes the Deepseek tool very innovative, what looks like its use and what the long -term effect on American technology giants and artificial intelligence research on a larger scale.
Francis Sims, associate dean of the College of Applied Sciences and Technology at Hambar Politchik, said he expects world leaders to discuss how to become more independent in a dominated field of large technology in the United States and China.
He said that the summit offers a pivotal moment to put handrails around artificial intelligence before society became excessively on technology.
“It is really important to think about whether it is good to rely on the private industry and large technology,” Sims said.
“It is good to be good now to be a must … If we do not start writing the rules of artificial intelligence today, artificial intelligence will actually tell us what to do tomorrow.”
