Canada is in advanced talks with the European Union to join the bloc’s new project to expand its military industry, a move that would allow Canada to be part of building European fighter jets and other military equipment at its own industrial facilities.

The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the United States, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers and offer the country a new market at a time when its relationship with the United States has become frayed.

Shaken by a crisis in the two nations’ longstanding alliance since President Trump’s election, Canada has started moving closer to Europe. The military industry collaboration with the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation to insulate themselves from Mr. Trump’s unpredictable moves.

    Trump is going to absolutely fuck his country six ways after Sunday. There won’t be a single nation that will want to engage in business or military with this Russian Cunt Muppet after all this is done.

    Fuck Trump. Get dead already!

        If the EU comes out stronger, it will probably backfire big time.

        Especially in a scenario where America survives trump and a new president then works to re-establish EU-US links, the block would have gotten much stronger as a whole.

          No new president will successfully patch this over. It will take decades.

          It’s not Trump. It’s the US voters who have proven themselves unreliable partners in international affairs.

            The US has proven that their veneer of democracy is really just dirty foreign money bags and corrupt media in a trench coat.

            US voters should know better but their propaganda diet is heavy AF.
