    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hosting the 19th Canada-EU Leaders’ Summit over the next couple of days in St. John’s this week. Trudeau will host the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Leaders will discuss job creation, opportunities and building the middle class. Other topics include climate change and halting biodiversity loss. Trudeau will also highlight Canada and the EU’s shared commitment to democracy, human rights, clean energy, gender equality, and the rule of law to create a better, more equitable world. Trudeau says, “Together, we will work to grow the middle class, improve quality of life, and build clean economies on both sides of the Atlantic.” The Canada-EU relationship is the oldest formal relationship the EU has with any industrialized country, dating back to 1959.
