The U.S. and Canada, Trump and Trudeau: Relations between States and Leaders

Two years after the presidential elections in the USA the relations between Canada and the USA The Prime-minister J. Trudeau and the President D. Trump have entered the turbulence zone, partially eased due to the signing of the new North American trade agreement in the end of 2018. Analytics named the relations between the two leaders “rocky”. J. Trudeau himself has not once emphasized the political and ideological disagreements with D. Trump. The presidency of D. Trump has become a catalyst for deep disagreements between Canada and the USA within a wide range of issues starting from protectionism in economics up to pluralism and immigration, etc. The J. Trudeau’s government worked out a new foreign policy course to support the world liberal order with or without the USA’s participation. The remarks by D. Trump (especially in Twitter) addressed to J. Trudeau sounded rough in the end of 2018 after adoption by Canada reciprocal tariffs on American import and on the verge of signing the new trade agreement. J. Trudeau is ready to endure the most difficult complications in the hardening relations with the USA, as those are the most close than between any other two countries in the world. On the other hand, analytics believe that J. Trudeau should not employ a mentor-like tone and not to be too aggressive in promoting liberal values od globalization while communicating with D. Trump. On the whole, J. Trudeau is ready to go on with constructive relationship with the Us President and will try to improve them when they look like cold ones at the moment.
