While much of the world is delighted by Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, tensions are also palpable in many countries. Similar tensions are evident in the United States’ neighbor Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is so concerned that on Thursday he re-established a special cabinet committee on Canada-U.S. relations to address concerns about Donald Trump’s re-election. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself provided this information on Thursday.
What will the Special Committee do?
The chairperson of the special cabinet committee formed by Canada has been held by the country’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. He is also the country’s finance minister. The committee will also include other senior officials, including the ministers of foreign affairs, public security and industry. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said Thursday that a cabinet committee will focus on key issues between Canada and the United States after President Donald Trump is re-elected.
75% of Canada’s exports go to the United States
In fact, Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world. 75% of Canada’s exports go to the United States. Donald Trump has spent his first term renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and has the Canadian government nervous with reports that he is considering imposing 25 per cent tariffs on the auto industry. Deputy Prime Minister Freeland said Wednesday that I know many Canadians are worried. But I want to say that Canada is absolutely fine. He said we have a strong relationship with the United States. We have a close relationship with President Trump and his team.
Trump has canceled it before
Relations between Canada and the United States remain very good. However, Trump has also repeatedly criticized Justin Trudeau. In 2023, Canada’s military budget expenditure will account for 1.33% of GDP, while demand will be 2%. About 400,000 Canadians cross the world’s longest international border every day, and about 800,000 Canadians live in the United States. (input: ap)
