Could Europe walk away from Trump like Canada did?

euronews.com

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from trade negotiations with the US, rejecting terms he said infringed on Canadian sovereignty and protected rights. He vowed dollar-for-dollar retaliation against Washington's tariffs. The collapse puts roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods at risk and threatens about 87,000 jobs, with Trump announcing further tariffs. Canada exports 75% of its goods to the US, creating structural dependency. The EU faces similar pressure but is unlikely to follow Canada's path. Its trade is more diversified, yet member states lack consensus on retaliation, and a walkout could jeopardize US engagement on Ukraine.
