Canada is to become an associate member of the EU.

This must be a big setback for the US. Humiliating also. Why Canada and not the US also? Europe continues to treat America very badly. This would never have happened if Trump was the president.

The US can't become an associate member of the EU because the EU is our 52nd state. :oP

END OF STORY:

Donald Trump has threatened the European Union with “serious tariffs” and a cut to trade after the bloc proposed to make Canada its first ever associate member, calling the idea “laughable”.

Suggesting the move was a “hostile act”, the US president told reporters he could put “very serious tariffs or stop trading with Europe”. He added: “If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe.”

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen invited Canada to become the EU’s first “associate member” on Wednesday, a day before Canadian prime minister Mark Carney was due to address the European parliament

Because Canada is in our sphere of influence, just like all of North and South America. they are not us, but they are ours.
