Canada wants to get closer to Europe, says foreign minister

What characterises a revitalised transatlantic friendship between the European Union and Canada? What lessons can the EU draw from Canada’s strategic posture?

Today’s Radio Schuman features Euronews’ Shona Murray’s interview with Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, who outlines Canada’s deepening strategic partnership with the EU.

Despite US President Trump’s threats of increased tariffs against Canada and the EU, Joly emphasizes that closer cooperation between the two is already under way and vital for Canada’s economic resilience.

Radio Schuman also brings you today’s agenda items, with stops in Luxembourg and Egypt, and a look at how our backgrounds influence our career paths.
