Agreement, what agreement? Donald Trump and his disappearing pens
About this episode
The episode discusses the lack of trust in American leadership under Donald Trump, as highlighted by Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney's declaration of a trade war.
‘We recognise sometimes its signature is written in pencil’ With these words Canada’s prime minister Mark Carney declared a trade war with its unreliable neighbour, the United States. On Free State today, we look at why so few want to assert what Carney stated so baldly, that America under Donald Trump cannot be trusted. This is a reality the world knows but the leaders instead of acknowledging it, run from it as they try and pretend the world is still the same. A reminder that on Sept 3rd, Free State will be live in Belfast with Paul Howard to talk about his brilliant new book ‘A Nation Once Again’.
