Recently the office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (above) announced that in mid-January Canada and the U.S. will launch formal discussions to review their free trade agreement. The United States-Mexico-Canada trade pact or USMCA is up for review in 2026.
In October, Trump cut off trade talks with Carney after the Ontario provincial government ran an anti-tariff advertisement in the U.S. That resulted in the highly controversial comment from Trump about Canada becoming the 51st state.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford paused the ad campaign in the last days of October but went on to say the campaign had already achieved its goal, The Associated Press reported.
Carney has boasted that Canada has other trading partners around the world including Europe.
Brian Rushfeldt is the former president of Canada Family Action. He doesn't think the two countries can come to an agreement.
"And the reason being, Carney has his own warped United Nations WEF agenda. He's sold out for the World Economic Federation, and everything he does is intentional towards the goals of the 2020 agreement that they've got with WEF and the U.N."
Those goals, according to Rushfeldt, contradict everything Trump is trying to do.
"They're totally different agendas, totally different goals. And so, I think Trump is going to tell Carney where to go when it comes right down to the basics of any agreement between our two countries."
