Former British finance minister George Osborne has urged the European Union and Canada to strengthen their economic partnership, warning that protectionist policies could deepen global trade tensions. He describes the current climate as a "ferocious storm" for international cooperation, highlighting risks to economic stability if trade barriers rise. The call comes as both sides face growing pressure to secure new agreements amid shifting global priorities. Analysts suggest such a pact could offer a counterbalance to rising isolationist trends in major economies.
