Why it matters

Canada is one of the EU’s closest partners on trade, critical minerals, energy and defence, and both sides are trying to depend less on the United States. A summit is where the two sides sign off on new cooperation, so what is announced here shows how far that has gone.

What to watch

• Defence and security cooperation, including Canada’s part in EU defence procurement.
• Critical minerals, energy (including LNG) and clean-technology supply deals.
• Anything on the EU-Canada trade agreement (CETA), which several EU member states have still not ratified.
