Trump’s short-sighted trade war with Canada is already hurting the US

“If Trump really wants a more secure border and for Canada to get its national security in order, he is going about it the wrong way. For more than a century, Canada and the U.S. have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in defense and prosperity, sharing the longest undefended border in the world and a robust security partnership exemplified by institutions like NORAD. This alliance has been built on a mutual trust that faces a direct assault when economic policy becomes a tool of coercion. The consequences of this coercion are not confined to balance sheets; they ripple into the realm of national security and national defense. In short, this turn by Trump against America’s closest ally jeopardizes not just Canadian interests but American safety as well.” (02/12/25)
