Video Description

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the rapidly deteriorating trade relationship between Canada and the United States following President Trump's angry response to Ontario's Reagan ad. They examine Trump's additional 10 percent tariff threats on Canadian goods, his refusal to meet with Prime Minister Mark Carney, and whether these reactions signal deeper frustrations with Canada's negotiating positions on issues like supply management and internet regulation. They explore Canada's weakening leverage as the U.S. appears to reach trade deals with other major economies, and how an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on Trump's emergency trade powers could fundamentally reshape both the bilateral trade relationship and U.S. constitutional limits on presidential authority.
