Here's Why Canada is Pushing an Alternative to Trump's World

About this episode

The episode discusses Canada's response to Trump's criticisms and its push for a new approach to global trade and diplomacy.

Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has directed some of his harshest criticism at America’s closest neighbor: Canada. Tariff threats, talk of making it the 51st state and pointed barbs have prompted the country’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, to argue for a new approach to global trade and diplomacy. David Gura, host of Bloomberg’s Big Take podcast, joins Stephen Carroll to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
