Europe Today: Metsola exclusively on Euronews as Carney addresses EU Parliament amid Trump's tariff threat

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.
