法国斯特拉斯堡电——尽管加拿大及其总理马克·卡尼因美加持续升级的贸易战屡屡遭到特朗普总统的抨击，但欧洲各国领导人周四为到访的加拿大总理献上了起立鼓掌。
卡尼对本国成为欧盟首个联系成员国的前景表示欢迎，他无视特朗普的威胁，称与欧盟建立更紧密的联系将确保没有任何国家能够控制加拿大的市场或损害其主权。
在欧洲议会的演讲中，卡尼多次赞扬欧盟与加拿大之间的合作，但与美国持续恶化的关系——几十年来一直主导加拿大经济——仍笼罩在周四的演讲氛围中。
特朗普的关税措施、对经济让步的要求，以及反复宣称要将加拿大变为美国第51个州的言论，都促使渥太华减少对邻国的依赖，寻求与欧洲建立更深入的经济、安全和政治关系。

卡尼对议会表示，他欢迎欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩周三公布的伙伴关系提议，但他承认“联系成员国”的定义仍有待明确。
不过这位加拿大领导人也阐述了自己的愿景：在贸易、国防、关键矿产、人工智能、能源、航天、科研和金融服务领域深化一体化，以使双方都更不易受到经济和地缘政治压力的冲击。他随后对记者表示，加拿大并不寻求加入欧盟的正式成员国身份。
“我们不寻求支配他国的权力，”他说，“恰恰相反，我们追求的是韧性，这样一来，就没有人能够控制我们开放的市场、损害我们的主权、威胁我们的领土完整，或是破坏我们的自由、我们的民主、我们的法治。”
卡尼走进法国斯特拉斯堡的议会会场时受到了热烈欢迎——多名议员上前与他握手、合影留念。他的演讲获得了全场起立鼓掌。
特朗普称欧盟与加拿大的合作是“敌对行为”，或将征收更多关税
冯德莱恩提出欢迎加拿大成为欧盟联系成员国的想法后，特朗普周三在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市发表讲话，威胁将对欧盟 bloc 征收更多关税，甚至可能在某些领域完全切断贸易往来。
特朗普将他的最新威胁与欧洲领导人的“意图”挂钩，他表示：“如果意图是好的，那没问题。如果意图是坏的，我们将对欧洲征收非常沉重的关税。”
他并未说明将如何判断欧盟最终给予加拿大新的特殊成员国地位的举措是否符合他口中的“良好意图”，但他将这一前景嘲讽为“可笑的”，并称美国北部邻国是“糟糕的贸易伙伴”。
取代“旧世界秩序”的新桥梁？
卡尼的演讲似乎表明，他决心推动构建新的“世界秩序”，对于他在今年1月所说的旧秩序已经终结一事，他并未表现出任何惋惜之情。
几十年来，加拿大的经济一直建立在与美国一体化的基础之上。但卡尼在达沃斯世界经济论坛上几乎毫不掩饰地对这个长期占据世界单极超级大国地位的国家发起抨击，他警告称，像美国这样的大国正利用经济依赖来欺凌小国。
他表示，世界秩序已经出现“断裂”，并警告称，当各国单独与一个霸权大国进行谈判时，“我们是在弱势地位上谈判，只能接受对方提出的条件”。
“我们知道旧秩序不会回来了。我们不应为之哀悼，”卡尼在达沃斯说道，“我们相信，从这场断裂中，我们可以构建出更宏大、更美好、更强大、更公正的新秩序。这是中等强国的任务。”
八个月前的这次演讲中，他明确表达了与欧盟建立更紧密联系的愿望，宣扬“与欧盟建立全面战略伙伴关系”以深化国防采购合作，以及“努力搭建经济桥梁”，他表示这将“打造一个拥有15亿人口的新贸易集团”，整合欧洲和加拿大市场。
特朗普次日就对他进行了驳斥，而卡尼周四的演讲可能会进一步加剧美加关系的紧张。
“我们会尽可能拉近关系”
冯德莱恩为加拿大提出的“联系成员国”身份目前在欧盟条约中并不存在，需要先创设该身份并就相关条款进行谈判。
她表示，欧洲希望将与加拿大的关系提升至“尽可能高的水平”，超越现有的自由贸易协定，打造一个涵盖“共同繁荣与经济安全空间”的“未来联盟”。
卡尼将于10月29日至30日在蒙特利尔主持欧盟领导人峰会，预计双方将在此次峰会上更详细地讨论拟议的新伙伴关系。
加拿大约70%的出口商品销往美国，这使得该国极易受到特朗普关税措施的影响。尽管如此，渥太华还是采取了报复措施，并拒绝了美国的要求，卡尼称这些要求威胁到了加拿大的主权。欧洲则采取了不同的做法，暂停了报复措施，接受了大多数欧盟对美出口商品被征收高达15%关税的现状。
加拿大候任欧盟大使乔纳森·威尔金森周三表示，加拿大并不寻求欧盟的正式成员国身份，因为这需要放弃部分主权。相反，渥太华希望在增强加拿大独立性的同时，“尽可能地拉近与欧洲的关系”。
加拿大已经朝着欧洲一体化迈出了重要一步。今年，加拿大成为首个加入欧盟1500亿欧元（合1730亿美元）的SAFE国防采购计划的非欧盟国家，随着欧洲增加国防开支，加拿大企业得以参与联合采购。双方还就能源、关键矿产、人工智能和数字贸易领域的更紧密合作进行了讨论。
“特朗普政府的政策和言论显然正在推动加拿大和欧盟设想一个没有美国强势领导的世界，并据此采取行动，”蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学政治学教授丹尼尔·贝兰说道。
多伦多大学荣誉退休教授纳尔逊·怀斯曼表示：“卡尼在与特朗普打交道时展现出的精明，吸引了欧洲的关注。”
怀斯曼称，长期以来，欧洲人一直认为加拿大由于与美国深厚的经济和政治联系，尤其了解美国。卡尼愿意抵制特朗普的要求，而不是迅速接受华盛顿的条件，这强化了欧洲人的这一印象。
Canada’s Mark Carney and the EU shrug off Trump’s threats, looking to forge an “Alliance for the Future”

Strasbourg, France —_ Canada and its Prime Minister Mark Carney have drawn regular scorn from President Trump as the two nations remain locked in an escalating trade war, but European leaders gave the visiting Canadian premier a standing ovation on Thursday.
Carney embraced the prospect of his country becoming the European Union’s first associate member, shrugging off a threat by Mr. Trump and saying closer ties with the EU would ensure no country could control Canada’s markets or undermine its sovereignty.
In a speech to the European Parliament, Carney repeatedly extolled cooperation between Europe and Canada — but the now-souring relationship with the U.S., which has defined Canada’s economy for decades, hung over the Thursday address.
Mr. Trump’s tariffs, demands for economic concessions, and repeated talk of making Canada the 51st state have pushed Ottawa to reduce its dependence on its neighbor and seek a far deeper economic, security and political relationship with Europe.

Carney told the parliament that he welcomed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s partnership proposal, unveiled Wednesday, though he acknowledged that “associate membership” remains to be defined.
But the Canadian leader outlined his own vision: deeper integration across trade, defense, critical minerals, artificial intelligence, energy, space, research and financial services to make both sides less vulnerable to economic and geopolitical pressure. He later told reporters he was not pursuing full membership of the EU.
“We do not seek power to dominate others,” he said. “On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so that no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law.”
Carney got a warm welcome when he walked into the chamber in Strasbourg, France — with many lawmakers coming up to shake his hand and pose for selfies. His address got a standing ovation.
Trump says EU-Canada “hostile act” would draw more tariffs
Speaking Wednesday in Charlotte, North Carolina, after von der Leyen floated the idea of welcoming Canada as an associate EU member, Mr. Trump threatened to respond by imposing more tariffs on the European bloc, possibly even cutting off trade completely in certain areas.
Mr. Trump conditioned his latest threat on the “intention” of European leaders, saying: “If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe.”
He didn’t say how he would discern the intentions of any eventual move by the EU to grant Canada a new, special status with the bloc, but he mocked the prospect as “laughable” and called America’s neighbor to the north a “terrible trade partner.”
New bridges to replace the “old world order”?
Carney’s address appeared to show his determination to push forward in shaping a new “world order,” without shedding any tears over what he said in January was the death of the old one.
For generations, Canada built its economy around integration with the United States. But in a very loosely veiled jab at the world’s longtime singular superpower, Carney warned at the World Economic Forum in Davos that great powers like the United States were using economic dependence to bully smaller nations.
He said there had been a “rupture in the world order” and warned that when countries negotiate alone with a dominant power, “we negotiate from weakness. We accept what is offered.”
” We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it,” Carney said in Davos. “We believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers.”
He clearly signaled his desire to forge closer ties with Europe in that address eight months ago, touting “a comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU” to deepen defense procurement collaboration, as well as “efforts to build a bridge” economically that he said “would create a new trading bloc of 1.5 billion people,” combining European and Canadian markets.
Mr. Trump rebuked him the next day, and Carney’s speech on Thursday could further strain the relationship with the U.S.
“As close as we possibly can”
The “associate member” status that von der Leyen proposed for Canada does not currently exist in the bloc’s treaties, and it would have to be created and the terms negotiated.
She said Europe wants to take its relationship with Canada to “the highest level possible,” moving beyond their existing free trade agreement to create an “Alliance for the Future” encompassing a “common prosperity and economic security space.”
Carney will host EU leaders for a summit in Montreal on Oct. 29 and 30, where the two sides are expected to discuss the proposed new relationship in more detail.
Canada sends roughly 70% of its exports to the United States, making it highly exposed to Mr. Trump’s tariffs. Ottawa has, nonetheless, retaliated and rejected U.S. demands that Carney says threaten Canadian sovereignty. Europe took a different path, shelving retaliation and accepting tariffs of up to 15% on most EU exports to the U.S.
Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s ambassador-designate to the EU, said Wednesday that Canada is not seeking full EU membership because that would require surrendering some sovereignty. Instead, Ottawa wants “to get as close as we possibly can” to Europe while increasing Canada’s independence.
Canada has already taken a major step toward European integration. This year it became the first non-European country to join the EU’s 150-billion-euro ($173 billion) SAFE defense procurement program, giving Canadian companies access to joint procurement as Europe increases defense spending. The two sides have also discussed closer cooperation on energy, critical minerals, artificial intelligence and digital trade.
“The policies and rhetoric of the Trump administration are clearly pushing both Canada and the EU to imagine a world without strong U.S. leadership and to act accordingly,” said Daniel Béland, a political-science professor at McGill University in Montreal.
Nelson Wiseman, a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, said: “Carney’s shrewdness in dealing with Trump has captured Europe’s attention.”
Wiseman said Europeans have long regarded Canada as a country that understands the United States particularly well because of their deep economic and political ties. Carney’s willingness to resist Mr. Trump rather than quickly accept Washington’s demands has reinforced that perception, he said.
