EU Parliament boss Roberta Metsola speaks exclusively to Euronews, a day after Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU's first "associate member" — a plan Trump has threatened with "very serious tariffs." Canadian PM Mark Carney is set to address the EU Parliament today in Strasbourg. On today's show: Maria Tadeo reports from Strasbourg as Canadian PM Mark Carney addresses the European Parliament this morning, a day after EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed making Canada the EU's first "associate member". US President Donald Trump has called this plan "laughable" and threatened with "very serious tariffs." We speak exclusively to European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, who reacts to this plan and the State of the Union speech yesterday. We also hear reactions to the State of the Union from European Commissioners Valdis Dombrovskis, Maroš Šefčovič, Wopke Hoekstra, and Andrius Kubilius, and from MEP David McAllister (EPP, Germany). Jorge Liboreiro breaks down whether the speech will move the needle, why von der Leyen announced nothing new on Ukraine support or Russia sanctions despite expectations, and what comes next for her after her biggest speech of the year. Maria Tadeo returns to Strasbourg for reaction to the State of the Union speech and anticipation of Carney's address to Parliament. Interviews with David McAllister, Member of the European Parliament (European People's Party, Germany). When and where to watch Europe Today?
