For the first time in a very long time, one of the world’s most amicable and durable alliances are facing some serious conflict. Canadians are usually seen as some of the politest, nicest people in the whole world. Now, Canadians are absorbing insults that President Trump made against their Prime Minister and his attacks on Canada’s trade policies.
Some of Canada’s citizens are urging Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Prime Minister, to seek peace with the U.S. President. But others want Trudeau to be tough in the face of Trump’s anti-Canada rhetoric. They say he’s only trying to get better trade deals, and that the Prime Minister shouldn’t give in.
Where Do Relations Stand?
A leading Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail says that the relations of the closest allies on the earth are now very low, like never before.
There are a few reasons why this confrontation started. Before everything, Trump wants to enact new taxes against Canada on imports. He says the taxes are justified on national security grounds. Trump and his allies also attacked Trudeau saying that he is dishonest, week, and a back-stabber who deserves to go to hell.
