About the discussion : Since implementation of the NAFTA and USMCA trade agreements, the United States and Canada have experienced three decades of closer economic integration, relatively harmonious trade. and mutual economic benefits. Under the administration of President Donald Trump the United States has announced punishing tariffs on Canadian goods, including resources such as energy, The President has also threatened to annex Canada making it the “51st State”. Reciprocal tariffs have been announced on US goods by Canada, and attitudes towards the United States as a reliable trading partner and ally have turned sharply negative. A stellar panel of American and Canadian economic and policy experts share their perspective on this situation and how it could affect the economies and people of both nations.
