Victor Davis Hanson: Carney Picked a Trade War With Trump—But Why?
About this episode
Victor Davis Hanson discusses the U.S.-Canada trade war and its political implications, alongside topics like Iran and the rise of right-wing movements in Europe.
The U.S.-Canada trade war is heating up again as President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney clash over tariffs, trade, and the terms of their economic relationship. Victor Davis Hanson argues that Carney’s confrontation with Trump is driven less by Canada’s economic strength than by political calculations—and that Canada may have far more to lose in a prolonged fight with its biggest trading partner. Jack Fowler and Hanson also discuss Iran and the weakening of its regime, the impact of U.S. sanctions, the decline of Iranian-backed groups including Hezbollah and Hamas, and the possibility of a future uprising. They examine Europe’s immigration and welfare policies, and how the “Trump effect” is leading to the rise of right-wing political movements. They dive into what Donald Trump’s political “counterrevolution,” could mean for both the future of American politics, and politics worldwide.
