Canada Invited as First EU Associate Member

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has formally invited Canada to become the European Union's first-ever associate member. The designation would mark a significant deepening of transatlantic ties between the EU and Canada, though details of what associate membership would involve have not been widely reported.

Why now: A claimed first-ever EU associate membership for a non-European country is an unprecedented development in EU foreign policy.
