EU's Strategic Balancing Act with the USA and Canada

The European Union faces a challenging dynamic with the United States under Trump's administration. While Trump threatens tariffs, the EU relies heavily on the U.S. for defense support.

In response, the EU is seeking to enhance its defense autonomy through increased investment, although this may lead to internal conflicts. Some propose appeasement strategies, such as purchasing American liquefied gas and weapon systems.

Simultaneously, the idea of Canada joining the EU is gaining traction. This notion, although geographically unusual, suggests a strategic alliance against the unpredictability of U.S. policies.

Canada, rich in resources but with a small population, could complement the EU's densely populated regions. Such a partnership underscores the EU's quest for new democratic allies and reflects a broader strategy to diversify political and economic ties amid global uncertainties.
