Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, will deliver a speech in the European Parliament on Thursday. This speech comes a day after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, described Canada's request to become an associate member of the European Union as a "hostile act." Trump also threatened that if this request were successful, he would "stop trade with Europe" and impose "very serious" tariffs on European products.
