The EU and Canada on Monday struck a security and defence partnership and kickstarted talks over a digital trade agreement as they seek to get closer amid uncertainty in the NATO alliance and global markets over Washington’s long-term policy.
The summit – the 20th of its kind between Brussels and Ottawa – came on the heels of a gathering of G7 leaders in Canada where one of the major headlines was the abrupt early departure of US President Donald, and on the eve of a summit of NATO leaders in The Hague.
