The European Union has backtracked on language that would have granted Canada a form of 'associate member' status. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other EU leaders reportedly pushed for the terms to be removed from the document. The move raises questions about how closely Ottawa and Brussels will work together on trade and security going forward.
Why now: EU leaders reportedly moved to strip the 'associate member' wording on Canada from the agreement, prompting discussion about the state of EU-Canada relations.
