Tensions Between Canada and the U.S.
The relationship between Canada and the United States has deteriorated significantly under Donald Trump's presidency, with trade tensions being a major factor. Canada's newly re-elected Prime Minister, Mark Carney, campaigned on a platform defending Canadian sovereignty against Trump's claims of wanting to make Canada the 51st state. During Carney's visit to the White House, Trump reiterated his past assertions in a somewhat dismissive manner, asserting a 'real estate developer' perspective on the border. Carney, in response, stated firmly that Canada is not for sale and emphasized the need for a partnership based on mutual respect.
