Deep dives
Trump's Trade Leverage
President Trump's tactics in trade negotiations continue to have a significant impact on North American relations. Canada has responded to Trump's proposed tariffs by agreeing to appoint a fentanyl czar and cooperate in combating organized crime and trafficking, showing a willingness to compromise rather than escalate the trade conflict. This shift comes after Mexico also agreed to deploy National Guard troops along its border to address similar issues, highlighting a pattern of U.S. pressure yielding concessions from neighboring countries. As Trump's aggressive approach unfolds, the previously suggested tariffs are on hold for now, giving room for further negotiations.
