Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett has attributed the deterioration of U.S.-Canada relations to the rhetoric of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Since President Trump has taken office, negative remarks have fueled tensions, but recent developments indicate a thawing of relations, particularly with the election of Prime Minister Mark Carney. Hassett acknowledges the importance of Carney’s visit to the White House and hints at optimism for improved trade relations. He credits the exemption of certain trade deals as a significant plus for Canada and expresses hope that the new leadership will mend ties between the two nations.
Hassett pinned the blame on Canada for the icy relationship, particularly on Carney's predecessor.
Carney visited the White House last week and reiterated his government's position that Canada won't be for sale.
Hassett expressed optimism about the new closer relationship under Prime Minister Carney and the benefits of trade agreement exemptions.
I think that Canada kept making it worse and worse with their rhetoric.
