Prime Minister Carney in Brussels today for EU-Canada summit
- On June 24, 2025, Mark Carney visited the Antwerp Schoonselhof Military Cemetery in Belgium before participating in the EU-Canada summit held in Brussels.
- Canada aims to lessen its dependence on the United States for defence procurement amid tensions arising from tariffs and President Trump's comments regarding Canada's status.

- The partnership includes access to the ReArm Europe initiative, a 150-billion-euro defence procurement program, and leaders plan to issue a joint statement pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine and calling for a Gaza ceasefire.
- Despite a 51% approval rating for Carney, an Angus Reid survey found 75% of Canadians believe the military is falling behind, underscoring challenges in shifting public trust amid global tensions and increased defence spending commitments.
