Canada is engaged in advanced discussions with the European Union to participate in a new military industry project aimed at reducing reliance on the United States, according to The New York Times on Wednesday, citing one official from Canada and one from the EU.
The agreement would allow Canadian factories to build European fighter jets and other military equipment. According to the sources with knowledge of the talks, Canada is positioning itself to integrate more closely with the EU’s defense sector. The move is seen as an effort by both parties to strengthen their military industries, addressing years of underinvestment.
The report comes days after Mark Carney assumed office as the new Canadian Prime Minister
