PETER McKENNA: Donald Trump and the rules of the Canada-U.S. diplomatic game

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. the-rules-of-the-canada-u-s-diplomatic-game.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Thursday, March 6th 2025 at 12:01 GMT by SaltWire}

With Donald Trump once again fully ensconced in the White House, Canada finds itself in a particularly precarious position. Like his first term, Trump is imposing high tariffs on Canadian exports, pressuring Ottawa to spend billions more on national defence/border security and angling to kick-start re-negotiation of the USMCA trade pact.

The article by Peter McKenna discusses the implications of Donald Trump's potential return to the White House on Canada-U.S. relations. It highlights Trump's previous tenure where he was known for his transactional approach to diplomacy, often using tariffs and trade threats as leverage. McKenna points out that Canadian officials are already preparing for this scenario by engaging with Trump's allies and former administration members to understand his likely policies. The article suggests that Canada might need to adopt a more pragmatic and less sentimental approach in dealing with the U.S., focusing on economic interests and possibly aligning with other countries to counterbalance U.S. policies. It also mentions the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with the U.S. regardless of who is in office, given the deep economic and security ties between the two nations.
