華爾街日報:加拿大尋求成為歐盟「準會員國」以應對美加貿易緊張

加拿大總理卡尼正與歐盟探討建立更緊密關係,涵蓋能源、AI及勞動力自由流動等戰略領域

Quick Look

為應對美加貿易戰,加拿大總理卡尼正尋求與歐盟建立更緊密關係,包括探討成為歐盟「準會員國」的可能性,並在能源、AI及國防等戰略供應鏈實現商品與勞工的自由流動。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

自2025年初川普重返白宮後,美加貿易關係惡化,導致數百億美元跨境貿易被課徵關稅。加拿大與歐盟現有的貿易協定在簽署十多年後,仍面臨部分歐盟成員國未正式批准的阻礙。

華爾街日報12日獨家報導,為應對與美國之間不斷升溫的貿易戰,加拿大總理卡尼(Mark Carney)正尋求與歐盟建立更緊密的關係,並探討讓加拿大成為歐盟「準會員國」(associate member)的可能性。

報導指出,自美國總統川普2025年初重返白宮以來,華府與渥太華的關係急遽惡化。雙方在貿易等多項議題上嚴重分歧,引發的貿易糾紛已導致數百億美元的跨境貿易被課徵關稅,為加拿大將戰略重心轉向其他貿易夥伴增添了急迫性。

報導引述歐盟與加拿大雙方匿名官員的話指出,儘管歐盟過去對會員資格的規範缺乏彈性,但目前對於賦予加拿大一項尚未正式設立的「準會員國」地位持開放態度。對此,加拿大駐布魯塞爾大使館與歐盟執委會發言人均未回應置評請求。

報導指出,加拿大與歐盟正積極討論如何讓參與能源、人工智慧(AI)、國防與關鍵礦物等戰略供應鏈的加拿大商品、服務及勞工實現自由流動,此舉形同實質延伸歐盟的邊界。此外,雙方也正探討鋪設海底電纜、共同建設資料中心、雲端儲存與新型衛星網路,並規劃將加拿大能源輸往歐盟的基礎設施。

兩名知情官員透露,卡尼已定期與多位歐盟領袖進行討論,特別是法國總統馬克宏(Emmanuel Macron),商討允許加拿大人在歐盟享有免簽證居住與工作的可能性。兩國領袖預計本月稍晚會面;馬克宏的新聞辦公室對此尚未回應。

然而,這項旨在將加拿大與歐盟緊密結合的計畫並非易事。報導指出,即使是一項規模較小的雙邊貿易協定,在簽署十多年且有條件生效9年後,至今仍面臨強烈反對,部分歐盟國家迄今仍未正式批准該協定,顯示未來雙方深化結盟仍將面臨不小的內部阻力。
