Of the European Union Says foreign policy chief Taxat Only served between Western countries China They are demanding high defense spending to maintain interests and Russia.
“If the United States is doing a trade war with Canada, Mexico or the European Union, then who is really taking advantage of it, China is.”
Former Estonia Prime Minister, Kalas, is overseeing the European Union's perspective for a new geographical political climate.
The class said, “We are trying to keep a cool head.
“We are really ready to defend our interests – but we will wish we do not need to deal with it, because we have a lot of problems.”
These issues have been the first large -scale ground war in Europe, lack of budget, in which governments across the continent are struggling to balance their books, and the climate change has led to severe weather rise.
Due to these risks, Europe is attracted to Canada to help speed up supply chains for everything from eating to energy.

“We certainly need to deepen our cooperation in these areas, especially in terms of economic security,” said Callas.
Europe is also looking for Canada to cooperate on military issues.
Earlier this month, outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to London for a European Security Conference on maintaining the support of the allies to defend Ukraine.
European residents are watching anxiety about a possible ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and some countries have promised to send troops and jets to maintain peace and prevent further Russian attacks.
Canada and the European Union have been talking about potential security and defense partnerships for almost a year.
The deal may be similar to Brussels with Japan and Korea, which covers joint naval exercises, or underwater infrastructure covers its contracts with non -European countries.
Callus said a partnership with Canada would include “important cooperation when talking about the defense industry” and “setting standards on investment in defense, so that we work together and ready to help each other.”
He added that European residents have no interest in making “parallel structure” to create a copy of the NATO military alliance.
“NATO has such a strong Canada, and NATO has strong European allies,” said Callas.
The hometown of Kalas, once a part of the Soviet Union, has been a riot with Russia for decades.
He said that Canadian residents need to understand that Russia is the neighbor of the next gate in the Arctic, a region that is growing into geographical political importance due to its trade routes and important raw materials.
“Russia is not only a threat to European security but also to global security,” he said.
“When we allow Russia to flee the land and escape the attacks they are doing on Ukraine, then everything is in danger.”
Europe and its colleagues need to spend more on defense, Callas said. Many NATO countries are included in Canada, lowering the target of NATO's defense spending by 2 % of GDP.
Some NATO allies have discussed high goals of defense spending of 2.5 or three percent of GDP. Calis noted that Russia's defense spending money is nine percent of its GDP.
“If we are not investing enough in our defense, they will want to reuse this military force,” he said.
“The only thing that stops them is the strength – even if we are strong enough not to experience us.”
