European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made a proposal. She wants to work on a special status for a North American country. This country is being driven closer to Europe due to tariffs imposed by the US.

The president's proposal was made during a significant address. A Canadian leader is set to speak to European lawmakers soon. Further details about the proposal and its potential implications are available from the source.

The move comes as the country seeks to diversify its economic ties.
