Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Compared To Mark Carney Amid Trade War
Carney holds the stronger public position as Washington and Ottawa impose new tariffs and economic risks mount on both sides.
The article compares President Donald Trump's approval rating to that of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney amid ongoing trade tensions between the two nations. According to Angus Reid Institute data, Trump's approval rating is significantly lower at 17 points behind Carney's. This gap is highlighted as tariffs have become a key economic test for both leaders, with Canada's smaller, export-dependent economy facing direct pressure from restricted access to the American market.
The trade conflict escalated when Trump imposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian goods in August, while Canada responded with its own set of tariffs from September.
