"The long-standing alliance between the US and Canada experienced a challenging year. Canadian sentiment on the US soured over Trump's annexation comments and tariffs. Here is a look back on how the relationship between the neighbors frayed in 2025. It's been a rough year for the friendship between the countries that share the world's longest undefended border."
"Relationships between the US and other countries frayed in 2025, but no more than between America and its neighbor to the north, which is also its second-largest trading partner. From comments about annexing Canada to ceasing trade negotiations over a provincial advertisement, here is a play-by-play of how the US and Canada's relationship cracked in 2025."

Trade negotiations were halted following a dispute tied to a provincial advertisement, further straining ties. The two countries share the world's longest undefended border and remain major trading partners, yet economic and diplomatic cooperation faced repeated setbacks. Political rhetoric, trade measures, and interrupted negotiations combined to increase mistrust and weaken institutional cooperation. Bilateral interactions that normally support the alliance experienced sustained tension throughout the year.
