Raymond J. de Souza: Trump doesn’t care if he loses, as long as Canada also loses
It is hard to see what kind of agreement would be worth making
Canada is awaiting a potential trade agreement with the US before 50 per cent tariffs are implemented. According to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, US President Donald Trump's threat to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods should serve as a "wake-up call" for Canada to make some changes.
The US is also involved in discussions with Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
Separately, the USS Abraham Lincoln, a US aircraft carrier, has been deployed in the Middle East for nearly nine months. Families of sailors on board have raised concerns over food shortages, contaminated water, and mould in showers. However, President Trump dismissed these concerns, stating that the families are not worried. The acting Navy Secretary acknowledged disruptions during the deployment, including changes to meal plans and restrictions on calls home, as well as a "small number of mental health cases".
