Trudeau visits Europe to promote Canada's AI leadership and strengthen EU ties

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on a five-day visit to Europe, primarily attending the AI Action Summit in Paris. This summit focuses on artificial intelligence regulation, marking Canada's leadership in the field. Trudeau will also meet with EU leaders in Brussels. The visit follows a temporary pause on U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports, allowing Canada and the EU to discuss trade coordination. Experts suggest this could strengthen economic ties, which have been slow to develop due to Canada's focus on the U.S. market. Trudeau's meetings will also address transatlantic security and support for Ukraine. The summit will feature discussions on AI's impact on public interest and innovation, with key global leaders, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in attendance.
