Facing the pressure exerted by the United States under the Trump administration, Canada and the European Union decided to draw closer to strengthen their bilateral relations. Ottawa and Brussels seek to give this partnership a deeper strategic and economic dimension.
This rapprochement aims to respond to the current geopolitical context, in which Washington's trade and diplomatic policies have created uncertainties for traditional allies. Canada and the European countries thus want to diversify their partnerships and reduce dependence on the traditional transatlantic axis centered on the US.
The goal is to create a new axis between the two sides of the Atlantic, uniting Canada and the European Union in a more robust framework of cooperation. This strategy involves both trade issues as well as security and political cooperation.
The initiative represents an attempt to adapt to a changing international scenario, where historical allies seek new forms of collaboration in the face of external pressures.
