European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has proposed opening the door for Canada to become the European Union’s first “associate member,” addressing Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during her State of the Union speech on September 16, 2026. The proposal comes as Canada seeks deeper economic and security ties with Europe amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States under President Donald Trump. Von der Leyen said the EU and Canada could build a broader partnership covering trade, technology, defense, energy, critical minerals, AI, cybersecurity and economic security. Carney has described Canada’s goal as a “unique alliance” with the EU rather than full EU membership.
