Trump pushes Canada away? Macron eyes Ottawa’s LNG, rare earths & strategic loyalty | watch, Carney

Emmanuel Macron is looking to Canada for energy and critical minerals as Mark Carney’s pivot toward Europe gathers pace. Ahead of their Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon meeting, Macron said France and the EU want agreements that could bring more Canadian LNG to Europe’s Atlantic coast while securing rare earth and critical-mineral supplies. The French president also linked deeper economic and defence cooperation with Canada to their shared “strategic autonomy.” The talks come as Ottawa seeks closer European ties amid worsening trade tensions with Washington. Could Canadian gas and minerals now give Carney’s Europe strategy real economic weight?
