Canada's Carney pushes'new alliance' with EU despite Trump threats Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney greets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after delivering a speech at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Thursday. Brussels - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off a threat of U.S. retaliation Thursday as he pitched a "new alliance" with Europe as a bulwark against outside pressures, in a closely watched speech to the European Parliament. His speech came after EU chief Ursula von der Leyen suggested Canada could become the 27-nation bloc's first "associate member" in her annual State of the Union address on Wednesday.
