EU and Canada Prepare to Sign Security Pact Ahead of NATO Summit

The European Union and Canada are expected to sign a security and defense partnership on Monday at a summit that will kick off a range of discussions about how they can work closer together.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney landed in Brussels late Sunday for the meetings, and one of his government’s objectives is to see Canada participate in SAFE, the EU’s €150 billion ($173 billion) joint military procurement loan fund.
