Trump’s Diplomacy Drives Canada Into Europe’s Arms

“Early in his second term, President Trump wanted Canada so entwined with the United States that he even set out to make it the 51st state,” the New York Times reports.

“Instead, he has driven Canada into the arms of the European Union, after antagonizing the Canadians for months, taunting the country’s prime minister and waging a relentless trade war.”

“The invitation by the European Union on Wednesday for Canada to become an ‘associate member’ is a sign of the knock-on effects of Mr. Trump’s brand of diplomacy, which often involves threatening countries that once were considered America’s closest friends.”
