Trudeau Expresses Concern Over Potential Trump Re-Election

Canada Prepares for Uncertainty Amid Trump's Bid for 2024 GOP Nomination

  • Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concern about the unpredictability of a potential second term for Donald Trump as U.S. President.
  • Trudeau highlighted that Canada sends 75% of its goods and services exports to the U.S., making it vulnerable to any U.S. shift toward protectionism.
  • During Trump's first term, Canada faced challenges such as U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
  • Despite these challenges, Trudeau stated that his government was able to manage the situation by defending Canadian interests and demonstrating the mutual benefits of economic growth.
  • Trudeau's comments come as Trump is eyeing a win in New Hampshire's Republican primary, following a victory in Iowa, as he seeks the 2024 GOP nomination.
